Metadata details

au9005

All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

    Description

    Oceanographic measurements were conducted between Tasmania and Heard Island, and then around Heard and McDonald Islands from May to July 1990. A total of 96 CTD (conductivity, temperature and depth) vertical profile stations were taken, most to near bottom. No Niskin bottle water data are available unfortunately (for the measurement of salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients (phosphate, nitrate+nitrite, silicate), dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, carbon isotopes, primary productivity, and biological parameters. Measurement and data processing techniques are summarised, and a summary of the data are presented in graphical and tabular form.

    The fields in this dataset are:
    oceanography
    ship
    station number
    date
    start time
    bottom time
    finish time
    cruise
