Aurora Australis 1994 Underway Oceanographic Measurements

20-second interval observations were logged during a 1994-95 Antarctic resupply cruise of the Aurora Australis. The data covers the voyage from Hobart to Casey and Davis stations and back between October and December 1994. It was collected by the Australian Antarctic Data Centre.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal patterns in NoQalms data types over the 20-second sampling intervals.
• Correlating underway measurements with the ship's route between Hobart, Casey, and Davis stations.
• Studying environmental conditions during the specific October-December 1994 Antarctic summer season.

Strengths

• Data logged at a high 20-second temporal resolution.
• Covers a specific multi-leg Antarctic voyage over approximately three months.

Limitations

• Specific data columns, row count, and file size are unknown.
• Data is from a single vessel voyage, limiting spatial and temporal generalizability.
• The dataset is over 25 years old, representing historical conditions.
