RV Investigator Voyage IN2026_T01: Transit Oceanographic Data Archive

CSIRO's RV Investigator voyage IN2026_T01 End of Voyage archive contains raw data collected during a transit from Hobart to Fremantle between March 06 and March 14, 2026. The Marine National Facility curated data from over 30 instruments, including acoustic profilers, greenhouse gas analyzers, atmospheric sensors, and wildlife observations. Processed data is publicly available via the MNF Data Trawler.

Use Cases

• Analyze ocean current profiles based on Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data
• Study atmospheric composition and aerosols based on Greenhouse Gas Analysers, Radon sensor, and particle counters
• Map seabed topography based on Multibeam Echosounder and Sub-bottom Profiler data
• Monitor marine wildlife presence based on voyage-specific seabird, cetacean, and seal observations

Strengths

• Data collected from over 30 distinct oceanographic and atmospheric instruments during a defined voyage
• Voyage took place over a specific 9-day period (March 06-14, 2026) with known departure and return ports
• Archive is curated by CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure with a permanent repository

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
