Aurora Australis Voyage 4 Underway Oceanographic Measurements

Underway environmental data was logged during the Aurora Australis Voyage 4, a non-marine science expedition. Observations were collected at 20-second intervals between November and December 1993 on a route from Hobart to Davis and Mawson stations in Antarctica and back. The dataset was provided by the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AU_AADC).

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal patterns in NoQalms data types at 20-second resolution.
• Correlating underway measurements with the vessel's transit route between Hobart, Davis, and Mawson.
• Studying environmental variability in the Southern Ocean during the austral summer of 1993-94.

Strengths

• Data logged at a high temporal resolution of 20-second intervals.
• Covers a specific voyage period from November to December 1993.

Limitations

• Specific data columns, row count, and file size are unknown.
• Data is from a single, non-marine science voyage, limiting scientific scope.
• The dataset is temporally stale, with no updates since 1993.
