Summary:Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: Original field data. Data processing performed by the CSIRO O&A Data Acquisition and Processing group. Note: the 1-minute, 5-minute, 5-second and 10-second csv files lacked QC flags so they were recreated and replaced on 29/07/2024. Credit Underway data processing by the MNF Data Acquisition and Processing personnel. Credit This data was collected on the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator voyage IN2021_V04 Data processed by V.Dirita (CSIRO/NCMI DAP) This record describes the Underway (UWY) data collected from the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator Voyage IN2021_V04, titled "Biodiversity Assessment of Australia’s Indian Ocean Territories." The voyage took place between June 30 and July 29, 2021 departing from Darwin (NT) and arriving in Hobart (TAS). Standard Underway data is continuously recorded, consisting of: (1) Navigation data (NAV): Latitude, Longitude, Speed, Heading, Course Over Ground, Gyros, and Doppler Log (dual GPS instrument). (2) Thermosalinograph (TSG): Water Salinity, Flow-Rate, Temperature, Fluorescence, pCO2 and Optode/Oxygen. (3) Atmospheric (MET): Humidity, Wind Speed and Direction (vane and ultrasonic), Radiometer/Sea Surface Temperature, Pyranometer/Solar Radiation, Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), Air Temperature, Air Pressure, Rain, Ozone and Trace Gases (port and starboard instruments). The quality-controlled RV Investigator underway meteorological and SST data are supplied to the IMOS AODN where they are publicly available at the "Ships of Opportunity" Thredds server (http://thredds.aodn.org.au/thredds/catalog/IMOS/SOOP/SOOP-ASF/VLMJ_Investigator/catalog.html) for research. From there, they are downloaded by NOAA for their In Situ Quality Monitoring web site (iQUAM2) and made available for satellite SST validation. The SBE 38 SST data are used within the Australian Bureau of Meteorology for real-time satellite SST validation and ingested into real-time SST analyses which are then used as ...
