Description
Summary:Progress Code: onGoing Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned Statement: The field sheets for the spatial surveys and weekly monitoring are stored in the Data Centre compactus in Block 1. The methods used specifically for the pigments and spectral absorption in the Huon estuary study are described in the paper- Clementson, L.A., Parslow, J.S., Turnbull, A.R., Bonham, P.I. (2003). Properties of light absorption in a highly coloured estuarine system in south-east Australia which is prone to blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum. Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 60, 101-112. The methods utilised are further described in the paper- Clementson, L.A., Parslow, J.S., Turnbull, A.R., McKenzie, D.C., Rathbone, C.E. (2001). Optical properties of waters in the Australasian sector of the Southern Ocean. J. Geophys. Res., 106, 611-625. Data will be linked to this record in the future (2016-06-20).

The Huon Estuary is in South Eastern Tasmania. This record references the optical absorption data from both the spatial (HES) and the weekly monitoring (CM) surveys of the Huon Estuary Study. This dataset includes phytoplankton, spectral absorption and HPLC pigments. Final data for the pigment and phytoplankton data has been stored within the HES database which has been refered to by metadata record 'Huon Estuary Study 1996/1998 - Database'. The final datasets have also been written to cdrom as text files for archiving purposes by the Data Centre, Hobart. The spectral absortion data is scheduled to be reworked and will be added to the archive when it becomes available.
