Description
IN2026_V01 voyage data was collected by the Marine National Facility RV Investigator between January 02, 2026 and February 25, 2026, departing from and returning to Hobart. The archive includes measurements from over 40 instruments, such as Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers, CTDs, echosounders, corers, and atmospheric sensors. Data is curated by CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure and made publicly available through the MNF Data Trawler.
Use Cases
Modeling ocean currents and water column properties based on Lowered ADCP and CTD data
Studying marine ecosystems and biomass based on Fisheries Echosounder and Environmental DNA data
Analyzing seafloor topography and sub-bottom geology based on Multibeam Echosounder and Sub-bottom Profiler data
Investigating atmospheric composition and climate interactions based on Greenhouse Gas Analysers and aerosol sensor data
Examining sediment core records for paleoclimate research based on Kasten corer and Giant Piston Corer data
Strengths
Data collected during a 55-day dedicated research voyage in the Antarctic region
Includes over 40 distinct instrument types for a multi-disciplinary view of the marine environment
Curated and permanently archived 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
Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to a single voyage
