This record describes the data (CTD, Dissolved Oxygen, Transmissometer, PAR, ECO Triplet, Nitrate, Fluorescence and LOPC) collected using the towed TRIAXUS platform on Investigator voyage IN2016_V05, titled: "The Great Barrier Reef as a significant source of climatically relevant aerosol particles." The voyage took place between September 26 and October 24, 2016 departing from Brisbane (QLD) and arriving in Brisbane.

CTD, Dissolved oxygen sensors, Transmissometer, Nephelometer and Cosine Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) sensor were also installed on the auxiliary A/D channels of the CTD. In addition to the auxiliary channels, ECO Triplet, Nitrate, Fluorescence and LOPC were mounted on the Triaxus as attached payloads.

The standard data product (1 decibar/10 second binned averaged) was produced using data from the primary sensors to produce an along-track time-series dataset for each CAP deployment. These deployments were grouped into legs, each containing a section of the Triaxus deployment and in each leg, vertical casts were created with interpolated values from the along-track time-series binned dataset with a maximum interpolation distance of 3 casts. These generated the along-track and vertical cast section data products for each Triaxus deployment.

The collected data have been processed and archived within the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&A) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart.

Additional information regarding this dataset may be contained in the Voyage Summary and the Data Processing Report.
