Summary:Progress Code: completed Statement: Before using any data collected on a voyage you should check the elog, read the ‘issues with instrumentation’ section in the Voyage Report and perform quality checking appropriate to your own needs to ensure that the data sets that you wish to use are valid. Purpose The principal objectives of the voyage were to resupply Macquarie Island Station. This dataset contains the Voyage Data from the resupply of Macquarie Island at the end of the 2022-23 season. The principal objectives of the voyage were to retrieve equipment and exchange personnel from Davis Station, and resupply Macquarie Island Station. Many of the Oceanpack instruments are out of calibration and thus data recorded from these instruments should be used with caution. Please verify data before use. Oceanographic instruments that recorded data intermittently throughout RSV Nuyina voyages include the ECO-fluorometer, LISST-200X particle size analyser, SBE38 thermometer, SBE45 thermosalinograph and the SBE63 oxygen sensor. Meteorological instruments that record data continuously throughout the voyage include the WMT700 ultrasonic anemometers, UVB radiometer, CGR3 pyrgeometer, CMP3 global solar radiometer, CUV5 broadband UV radiometer, PQS1 photosynthetically active radiometer, CL31 Ceilometer, HMP155 air temperature and humidity sensor, PWD22 present weather and visibility sensor, PTB330 digital barometer, the all sky imager and webcams. Acoustic instrumentation that continuously recorded data during the voyage are the 4 hull mounted ek80 transducers and the bridges 50 kHz and 200 kHz echosounder. Operational and positioning instruments that recorded data continuously through the voyage include the gyro compass, IPMS alarm system, draught sensor, speedlog and dgps. Operational and positioning instruments that recorded data intermittently throughout the voyage include the icewave radar, ice load monitor, winches and seapath380 systems.
