RV Investigator Voyage IN2021_V03 ADCP Data

Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected during the RV Investigator voyage IN2021_V03 from Hobart to Brisbane between May 8 and June 3, 2021. The data were collected using RDI Ocean Surveyor 75kHz and 150kHz instruments, processed with the CODAS system, and archived by CSIRO's National Collections and Marine Infrastructure. The voyage aimed to monitor property transports of the East Australian Current at 27 degrees South.

Use Cases

• Modeling the East Australian Current transport properties based on the voyage's stated monitoring objective
• Analyzing vertical current profiles based on data from two ADCPs operating at different frequencies
• Studying temporal changes in ocean currents along a transect between Tasmania and Queensland during the specified voyage period

Strengths

• Data were collected using two specific instruments (RDI Ocean Surveyor 75kHz and 150kHz ADCPs) operating in narrowband mode
• The voyage had a clear temporal range from May 8 to June 3, 2021, and a defined route from Hobart to Brisbane
• Data underwent quality-controlled processing and were archived by CSIRO's National Collections and Marine Infrastructure

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
