An oceanographic survey of the Gulf of Papua and Torres Strait was undertaken in November and early December 1979, prior to the monsoon season.

In the Gulf of Papua, sampling positions were selected to measure the diffusion of river water into the Gulf. An additional transect was made through the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon (from the Coral Sea to slightly west of Torres Strait) in a preliminary examination of zooplankton production.

This dataset contains temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved inorganic and organic nutrient, chlorophyll and phaeophytin data from a range of depths at the 45 stations sampled during this survey. Zooplankton abundance data is also available for 12 stations.

Comparisons of AIMS and CSIRO sampling and analytical methods were also made at an intercalibration station in the Coral Sea off Raine Entrance.
