Description
An End of Voyage data archive from the RV Investigator's IN2026_V02 expedition, which took place between March 17, 2026 and April 17, 2026. The voyage, titled 'Quantifying the fine scale ocean dynamics of the Ningaloo Coast,' departed from and returned to Fremantle. Data was collected by the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure Information and Data Centre using over 30 instruments for regular and voyage-specific measurements.
Use Cases
Model fine-scale ocean currents and water column properties based on ADCP and CTD data mentioned in the description
Analyze atmospheric aerosol composition and cloud formation processes based on ACSM, CCN, and MPSS measurements
Study marine biogeochemistry and carbon cycling based on pCO2, greenhouse gas, and hydrochemistry data
Map seafloor topography and sub-bottom structure based on multibeam echosounder and sub-bottom profiler data
Conduct biodiversity assessments via environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling and wildlife observations
Strengths
Data collection spans a full month (March 17 to April 17, 2026) for temporal analysis
Over 30 distinct instrument types listed, suggesting broad observational coverage
Archive is curated by CSIRO's National Collections and Marine Infrastructure Information and Data Centre, indicating institutional stewardship
