This record describes the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected from the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator research voyage in2016_v05, titled "The Great Barrier Reef as a significant source of climatically relevant aerosol particles." The voyage took place from Brisbane (QLD) to Brisbane between September 28 and October 24, 2016.
Data was collected during in2016_v05 for the duration of the voyage. Data was collected using VMDAS and post-processed using CODAS. See the voyage computing and electronics report for more details regarding data acquisition. Drop keels were both deployed at mid extension, approx. 8.5m below the waterline. Data coverage and quality is generally very good. The voyage was conducted almost entirely in shallow waters around the Great Barrier Reef, therefore the OS75 (a deep water instrument) sometime struggled to get good profiles. The OS150 should be considered the better dataset for most use. Some editing was required.
The University of Hawaii’s CODAS software was used for data post-processing.
This dataset was processed and then archived within the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&A) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart.
