Progress Code: completed Statement: The quality for the science data produced during the commissioning voyage is varied. As instruments were brought online the instruments were calibrated to a varying degree. Some instruments are not in calibration. These instruments are the OceanPack instruments, CTD instruments, EK80 sensors, MS70, hydrophones systems, TOPAS sub-bottom profiler and the EM712 mulitbeam. Periodically the OceanPack instruments undergo cleaning, during this time the data is erroneous. The humidity data from the HMP155 sensor is erroneous. For any queries please contact the AADC [e-mail]. Purpose The voyage's purpose was threefold. To provide resupply support to Casey and Davis, conduct ice trials and commission the science systems on the ship. As the instruments were commissioned their data was added to the Voyage Dataset. Of notable scientific interest is the EM122, EM712, CTD and XBT data conducted by the Vanderford Glacier. This dataset contains the Voyage Data from Voyage 2 2021-22 collected during RSV Nuyina’s maiden voyage to Antarctica. This purpose of this voyage was a combination of commissioning trials, ice trials and a resupply voyage. The voyage departed Hobart and visited Davis station, Casey station, and the Vanderford Glacier before returning to Hobart. Throughout the voyage, operations related to ice trials and commissioning the science systems were conducted. As the instruments were commissioned, the data produced was included in the Voyage Dataset. It should be noted that many of the instruments were uncalibrated and, therefore, data recorded from these instruments may be erroneous. Oceanographic instruments that recorded data continuously throughout RSV Nuyina voyages include the Eco fluorometer, LISST-200X particle size analyser, Phytoflash flurometer, SeaFET pH sensor, SBE38 thermometer, SBE45 thermosalinograph and the SBE63 oxygen sensor. Oceanographic and mapping instruments that recorded data intermittently throughout the voyage include the ADCP38, ...
