Brief description
This record describes the Underway (UWY) data collected from the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator Voyage IN2016_V06, titled: "Sustained monitoring of the EAC: mass, heat and freshwater transports." The voyage took place between October 29 and November 13, 2016 departing from Brisbane and arriving in Brisbane (QLD).Standard Underway data are continuously recorded, consisting of:
(1) Navigation data (NAV): Latitude, Longitude, Speed, Heading, Course Over Ground, Gyros, and Doppler Log (dual GPS instrument).
(2) Thermosalinograph (TSG): Water Salinity, Flow-Rate, Temperature, Fluorescence, pCO2 and Optode/Oxygen.
(3) Atmospheric (MET): Humidity, Wind Speed and Direction (vane and ultrasonic), Radiometer/Sea Surface Temprature, Pyranometer/Solar Radiation, Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), Air Temperature, Air Pressure, Rain, Ozone and Trace Gases (port and starboard instruments).
Data are recorded at 5 second intervals. Near real-time data is available via the link "Visualisation tool for Underway Data." This dataset will be processed and archived within the CSIRO Oceans & Atmosphere (O&A) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart. Data is available at time intervals of 5 sec (NetCDF format), 10 sec and 5 min (ASCII format). Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the Cruise Summary Report and/or the Data Processing Report for this voyage.
