RV Investigator Voyage IN2017_T01 ADCP Data

Surface Currents

This record describes the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2017_T01, titled: "Natural iron fertilisation of oceans around Australia: linking terrestrial dust and bushfires to marine biogeochemistry." The voyage took place from Sydney (NSW) to Broome (WA) between September 24 and October 8, 2017.

Data was collected for the duration of the voyage, excluding the search site for the wreck of the Macumba. Data was collected using UHDAS and post-processed using CODAS. Only the OS75 was in operation for this voyage, due to a fault with the OS150 pending repair. Drop keels were both deployed at mid extension, approx. 8.5m below the waterline.

See the voyage computing and electronics report for more details regarding data acquisition.

This dataset was processed and then archived within the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&A) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart.
