Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data was collected by the CSIRO RV Investigator voyage IN2021_V03 between May 8 and June 3, 2021. The voyage traveled from Hobart to Brisbane, monitoring the East Australian Current property transports at 27 degrees South. Data from OS75 and OS150 ADCPs was processed using the University of Hawaii Data Acquisition System and archived by CSIRO's National Collections and Marine Infrastructure.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean current transport based on acoustic Doppler current profiler measurements
- Analyzing vertical current profiles based on data from OS75 and OS150 ADCPs
- Studying temporal changes in the East Australian Current based on voyage transect data
- Calibrating hydrodynamic models based on quality-controlled ADCP data processed with CODAS
Strengths
- Data was collected over a specific voyage from May 8 to June 3, 2021, providing a temporal snapshot
- Both OS75 and OS150 ADCPs were used for all transects, suggesting consistent instrumentation
- Data was post-processed and quality-controlled using the Common Ocean Data Access System (CODAS)
- The keel was extended by 2.0m for the voyage, providing a known transducer depth of approximately 8.0m
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to a single voyage
