IN2026_T01: RV Investigator Voyage Ocean and Atmospheric Sensor Data

RV Investigator voyage IN2026_T01 collected oceanographic and atmospheric data during a transit from Hobart to Fremantle between March 06 and March 14, 2026. The archive includes regular measurements from over 30 instruments like CTDs, echosounders, and greenhouse gas analyzers, plus voyage-specific wildlife observations. CSIRO's National Collections and Marine Infrastructure Information and Data Centre curates the raw data, with processed data available via the MNF Data Trawler.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean currents and water column properties based on ADCP and CTD data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing atmospheric composition and aerosol dynamics based on greenhouse gas analyzers, CCN, and MPSS sensors
• Studying marine mammal and seabird distributions based on the wildlife observations log
• Mapping seafloor topography and sub-bottom features based on multibeam and sub-bottom profiler data

Strengths

• Data collected by over 30 specialized oceanographic and atmospheric instruments during a dedicated research voyage
• Voyage-specific wildlife observation logs for seabirds, cetaceans, and seals
• Raw data is permanently archived and curated by CSIRO's National Collections and Marine Infrastructure Information and Data Centre

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The voyage was a transit with 'no research' in its title, which may affect data collection intensity
