Full description
This dataset contains a time-series of oceanographic data collected at the 50m coastal station off Maria Island, Tasmania (lat. 42 deg. 36 min. S, long. 148 deg. 14 min. E). The station was set up under the CSIRO Coastal Monitoring Programme in the 1940s. Sampling is undertaken at intervals of one to several weeks from October 1944 and is sampled for temperature and salinity at depths of 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50m below the surface. Nitrate, silicate, phosphate and dissolved oxygen have also been sampled but not for every sampling, please refer to data completeness for further details. Since April 2009 the sampling has become part of the IMOS program. The current sampling regime is approximately monthly for 11 or 12 months per year. The IMOS sampling includes additional Biological data and the temperature data is taken from the CTD on the IMOS mooring instead of reversing thermometers. The data collected from 1944 to May 2008 is stored on-line as part of the CMR hydrology archive in Hobart and is available via the CMAR Data Trawler. The ongoing data is currently available via the IMOS portal. Please see Data Links below.Additional copies of the data up to 1989 are deposited with the NODC data archive (World Data Centre-A) in the U.S.A., and details of relevant data files can be viewed via their website by requesting the file inventory for this coastal station which is NODC platform code "09F9". Station details, plus printed versions of the data up to the end of 1966, have been published in CSIRO's "Oceanographical Station List" series.
