Full description
This dataset contains the underway data from Voyage 1 1994-95 of the Aurora Australis. This was a resupply cruise, with limited marine science being carried out. NoQalms data types were logged at 20-second intervals. The observations were taken between August and October 1995 en route from Hobart to Macquarie Island to Davis and back to Hobart. See the Marine Science Support Data Quality Report via the Related URL section.From the voyage leader's report:
The aims of the voyage were as follows:
1) Conduct iceberg observations in accordance with instructions provided by the Glaciology Section.
2) Meet any obligations for inspection of the vessel by other Treaty parties.
3) Support the following marine science activities.
- Study the East Antarctic Sea Ice Zone: Characteristics and Ocean - Ice - Atmosphere Interaction (Dr Ian Allison).
- Antarctic Pack Ice Seals (Dr Bill de la Mare).
- Sulphur Gas Production in the Southern Ocean (Dr Graham Jones).
- Collection of live Antarctic Krill, "Euphausia superba" (Dr Steve Nicol, collection by John Kitchener) - Not completed.
4) Transfer personnel and cargo by helicopter between the ship and shore at Macquarie Island including helipad components, RTA essential cargo and non-essential cargo weighing more than 700kg.
5) Conduct the Macquarie Island hut resupply, subject to weather conditions, helicopter availability and schedule limitations.
6) Transfer personnel and cargo by helicopter, or over ice transport if ice conditions are suitable, between the ship and shore at Davis.
7) Evaluate and report on the performance and suitability of S76 helicopters for Antarctic Division operations, within the scope of their use on the voyage.
