| Summary: | Progress Code: completed Statement: Data have been mapped and tracks verified as being consistent. Users should vouch for fine-scale positions such as in the Kerguelen islands area The British Australian (and) New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) was a research expedition into Antarctica between 1929 and 1931, involving two voyages over consecutive Austral summers. This document describes the ship's log and station list taken from Biological Organisation and Station List by T. Harvey Johnston, BANZARE Reports, Series B, Vol I, Part 1, pages 1-48 Data are stored in an Access database. The 5 tables are banzare_noon_log_1929_1930 and banzare_noon_log_1930_1931 noon positions from page 46-47 - assumed log_date is local noon, latitude and longitude in decimals. banzare_stations_1929_1930 and banzare_stations_1930_1931 odate is station date (no time is given) depth is echo depth (metres) latg and long is refined positions using Google Earth and Kerguelen map on page 14 full_speed_nets_1930_1931 log of full sped nets - see pages 40-44; time is possibly UTC distance is travel of ship when net is deployed depth is possible depth of net in fathoms tow_speed is ship speed in knots
