Brief description
This record describes the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2015_T01, titled: "Transit Hobart to Sydney." The voyage took place between 10 May and 13 May, 2015 departing Hobart (TAS) and returning to Sydney (NSW). Data was collected during in2015_t01 for the duration of the voyage. Data was collected using VMDAS and post-processed using CODAS. Both the OS75 and the OS150 ADCPs were operated for the duration of the voyage. Due to issues with VMDAS acquiring serial data, all navigation data was regenerated from Techsas acquired NMEA strings. The OS150 ADCP was externally triggered to manage interference with other instruments, which resulted in data quality issues. The OS75 appears to have been primarily internally triggered, leading to greater data coverage and quality. The drop keel was flush with the gondola (transducer 7.7m below the waterline) for the duration of the voyage. See the voyage computing and electronics report for more details regarding data acquisition. This dataset was processed and then archived within the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&A) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart.Lineage
