RV Investigator Voyage IN2026_T01: Marine Sensor Data Archive

End of Voyage data archive from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2026_T01, a transit voyage from Hobart to Fremantle between March 06 and March 14, 2026. The archive includes raw data from over 30 instruments measuring oceanographic, atmospheric, and biological parameters. The data is curated by CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure and archived at the CSIRO Data Access Portal.

Use Cases

• Analyze ocean currents and water column structure based on Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and CTD data
• Study atmospheric composition and aerosols based on Greenhouse Gas Analysers, Cloud Condensation Nuclei counters, and particle sensors
• Map seabed topography based on Multibeam Echosounder and Sub-bottom Profiler data
• Monitor marine wildlife populations based on Wildlife Observations for seabirds, cetaceans, and seals
• Track surface ocean properties and biogeochemistry based on Thermosalinographs, Fluorometer, and pCO2 sensors

Strengths

• Data collected from over 30 distinct scientific instruments during a dedicated voyage
• Voyage dates and route (Hobart to Fremantle, March 06-14, 2026) are explicitly stated
• Raw data is archived by CSIRO with a permanent repository at the CSIRO Data Access Portal

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• File formats listed (PNG, HTML) suggest visual or documentation files, not the primary sensor data formats
