IN2023_V05: Marine Ecosystem Voyage Data from Southeast Australia

June 28 to July 30, 2023 voyage data from the RV Investigator's SEA-MES Voyage 1, investigating changes in the southeast marine ecosystem. The archive is curated by CSIRO's National Collections and Marine Infrastructure Information and Data Centre and includes raw data from instruments like ADCPs, CTDs, echosounders, and environmental sensors. Processed data is made publicly available through the Marine National Facility Data Trawler.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean currents and water column structure based on Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and CTD data
• Analyzing marine biodiversity and plankton communities based on Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) and Environmental DNA (eDNA) samples
• Mapping seafloor topography and sub-bottom features based on Multibeam Echosounder and Sub-bottom Profiler data
• Studying atmospheric-ocean gas exchange based on Greenhouse Gas Analysers and pCO2 measurements
• Conducting fisheries assessments based on Fisheries Echosounder and trawl data

Strengths

• Data collected during a dedicated 33-day research voyage with a specific scientific objective
• Archive includes measurements from over 30 distinct oceanographic and atmospheric instruments
• Raw data is permanently archived and managed by CSIRO, a national research organization

Limitations

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