Full description

These data describe pack ice characteristics in the Antarctic sea ice zone.
These data are in the ASPeCt format.

National program: Australia
Vessel: Aurora Australis

Observers: Matt Paget

Summary of voyage track:
5/11 Ice edge at approx. 60S, 113E
5-7/11 Ice edge to Casey
8-18/11 Casey to Davis (conducting survey of pack ice seals)
22-23/11 From Davis west to 74E
24-26/11 No obs - flying operations
27-30/11 Vicinity of 74E
1-12/11 No obs - ship stopped in ice due to propeller damage
