Brief description

This was the third research expedition for the Seagrass cruises. The expedition was conducted in Investigator Strait, Gulf St Vincent and Backstairs Passage, South Australia, in August 1993. The research vessel used was the Ngerin, owned by the South Australian Department of Fisheries.

Lineage

Statement: The data was digitised in December 1998, so that it could be to added to the oceanography data base. Only the station positions, oceanographic and meteorological data were digitised. The data was taken from the raw data sheets and also from photocopied summaries of the data collected on the cruise. The data sheets contained various measurements which had been collected and recorded for each sampling station within the cruise itinerary. It should be noted that some measurements were not recorded on these sheets and therefore could not be digitised. Data parameters: depth (metres), wind direction (degrees), wind speed (knots), air temperature (oC), pressure (decibars), water temperature (oC), salinity, potential density (sigmatheta), sound velocity, conductivity (s/m), scan, velocity (nbin).

Purpose
The aims of the research were: 1. To determine how water is injected into and ejected out of the Gulf St. Vincent, and whether this process adds nutrients and biomass to the ocean off South Australia. 2. To assess the role the extensive seagrass beds play in maintaining the Gulf water column as a biologically productive and diverse environment.
