KOMBI mooring datasets

Created 12/03/2025

Updated 12/03/2025

This dataset contains all data collected from Krill Observational Mooring for Benthic Investigations (KOMBI) seafloor lander platforms. Platforms were left on the seafloor for one year at depths on the continental shelf and near the shelf break. The minimum depth of a mooring is 350m to avoid collision with icebergs and the maximum depth is 1500m. Their dimensions are 1145 x 1145 x 1300 mm. Moorings are typically deployed in summer months from vessels. Active acoustic (ADCP and echosounder) data, passive acoustic data, CTD data and video camera footage are available from various instruments installed on the mooring. Data is collected at varying intervals depending on the instrument. Moorings sit on the seafloor and have been positioned at various sites near the continental slope off Mawson station, East Antarctica. Data collection began in 2021 and is ongoing.
