Description
RV Investigator voyage IN2025_V06 collected a wide array of marine and atmospheric measurements in the Coral Sea Marine Park between October 10 and November 14, 2025. The archive includes data from over 30 instruments, including multibeam echosounders, CTD, fisheries echosounder, greenhouse gas analyzers, and environmental DNA sampling. The CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure Information and Data Centre curates the raw data archive.
Use Cases
Map seabed topography based on multibeam echosounder (EM712, EM124, EM2040) and sub-bottom profiler (SBP29) data
Assess deep-sea biodiversity based on environmental DNA (eDNA), beam trawl, and deep towed camera (DTC) collections
Analyze ocean current profiles based on Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and Lowered ADCP (LADCP) measurements
Study atmospheric-ocean gas exchange based on greenhouse gas analyzers (Picarro), pCO2, and radon sensor data
Monitor marine wildlife populations based on documented wildlife observations of seabirds, cetaceans, and seals
Strengths
Voyage-specific measurements include targeted biodiversity assessment tools like eDNA sampling, beam trawl, and deep towed camera
Regular measurements cover a comprehensive suite of over 30 oceanographic and atmospheric instruments
Data is permanently archived and curated by the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure Information and Data Centre
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
