Brief description
This record describes the physical oceanographic data collected as part of the 1991-1993 Tasmanian Slope Trophodynamics Study undertaken by CSIRO Division of Fisheries. CTD stations were occupied on 4 cruises of FRV "Southern Surveyor" on three 60 km transects across the continental shelf to the south and south-east of Tasmania. Temperature, salinity and density data were collected to approx. 1000 metres depth in July 1991 (cruise SS 02/91), February 1992 (cruise SS 01/92), November 1992 (cruise SS 04/92) and April 1993 (cruise SS 03/93). The processed data are held as part of the CSIRO Marine Research CTD data holdings. Contour plots and computed mixed layer depths derived from the data are given in the cited report (Figs 3-27).Lineage
