Full description
This record describes PSA (Particle Size Analysis) data collected as part of the 1991-1993 Tasmanian Slope Trophodynamics Study undertaken by CSIRO Division of Fisheries. PSA data were obtained from Niskin bottle samples at a range of depths (surface to 1500 meters) on 4 cruises of FRV "Southern Surveyor" on three 60 km transects across the continental shelf to the south and south-east of Tasmania 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). Analyses were later used to also derive approximate measurements of particulate carbon in the water column.Lineage

Statement: Data source: original field data Sample analysis was undertaken using a Hiac Royco model 320 particle size analyzer and an HR 60 sensor, as in Harris et al. (1987) (see report for full details). Particulate carbon was estimated using the method of Jorgenson (1979).
