Brief description
This dataset contains the Underway (UWY) data collected on Southern Surveyor voyage SS 08/2004. The voyage took place off the east coast of New South Wales and Queensland in September 2004. This dataset has been processed and is archived within the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre in Hobart. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the voyage plan and voyage summary. The standard Underway (=continuously recorded) dataset from a research voyage includes Navigation (NAV), Sounder (PDR), Thermosalinograph (TSG) and Meteorological (MET) data. NAV data includes GPS (Global Positioning System) measurements of latitude, longitude, ship's direction and speed. MET data may include atmospheric temperature, humidity and pressure, wind speed and direction, and incident radiation intensity. The data are available at 10 second intervals in the NetCDF file, or at five minute intervals in the standard ASCII file.Lineage
Progress Code: completedSpikes in water temperature - remade .tsr files before netcdf file composed. Some depth data flagged as suspect due to expected depth range set incorrectly. Spikes in salinity data required filtering offset of -0.0202 added to salinity data - determined by ctd data comparison.
Wind Data re-processed in June 2006:
Wind speed and direction re-corrected; maxwindgust set to Nan and bad data flag.
