Oceanographic sensor data collected from 5 towed Triaxus deployments during the RV Investigator voyage IN2023_V07. The voyage, conducted by the Australian Ocean Data Network, took place between November 15 and December 20, 2023, departing from and returning to Hobart. The data includes measurements from CTD, dissolved oxygen, transmissometer, PAR, ECO Triplet, nitrate, fluorescence, and LOPC sensors.
Use Cases
- Validate Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite sea surface height observations based on in situ subsurface measurements.
- Characterize small-scale variability in ocean circulation based on data collected across a standing meander of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current.
- Quantify cross-front transport of heat and carbon based on multidisciplinary sensor data.
- Investigate interconnected physical, biogeochemical, and biological processes at small spatial scales based on the suite of sensor measurements.
Strengths
- Data collected from duplicate sensors on a Seabird SBE9plus CTD for key parameters.
- 121.75 hours of total towing time across 5 distinct deployments.
- Multidisciplinary measurements from 8 different sensor types.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
