Brief description
Archive of biogeochemical and hydrodynamic data from 2021 research voyage in eastern Cape York.Data were collected via several observational methods including an underway, flow-though sampling system, underway CTD casts, benthic lander deployments, >25hr station keeping, water column profiling, across-axis hydrodynamic transects and along-axis profiling transects. A detailed description of data, methods, and activities is included in this archive as a voyage sampling report.
Lineage
Data were collected during a research voyage, which covered approximately 1200km in 14 days, including both continuous and discrete sampling while underway, at anchor stations and in specific habitats, e.g. mangroves and seagrass. Continuous measurements of surface water quality were collected by pumping water to a series of flow cells onboard the research vessel throughout the voyage. These continuous data require calibration based on discrete samples and include periodic but minor data gaps due to equipment maintenance. Underway CTD profiles of the vertical water column were simultaneously conducted across ~210km of the voyage track.Sampling at anchor stations were conducted over full tidal cycles (>25 hrs) in three estuaries (Daintree, Normanby, Escape), with shorter anchor intervals and benthic lander deployments in four other systems (Bizant, Kennedy, Olive, and Jackey Jackey). These sampling activities included a suite of hydrodynamic and biogeochemical observations, which are grouped by specific topics and sampling methods and are described in detail in the voyage sampling summary (included).
