This record describes the Underway (UWY) data collected from the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator Voyage IN2016_V06, titled: "Sustained monitoring of the EAC: mass, heat and freshwater transports." The voyage took place between October 29 and November 13, 2016 departing from Brisbane and arriving in Brisbane (QLD).
Standard Underway data are continuously recorded, consisting of:
(1) Navigation data (NAV): Latitude, Longitude, Speed, Heading, Course Over Ground, Gyros, and Doppler Log (dual GPS instrument).
(2) Thermosalinograph (TSG): Water Salinity, Flow-Rate, Temperature, Fluorescence, pCO2 and Optode/Oxygen.
(3) Atmospheric (MET): Humidity, Wind Speed and Direction (vane and ultrasonic), Radiometer/Sea Surface Temprature, Pyranometer/Solar Radiation, Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), Air Temperature, Air Pressure, Rain, Ozone and Trace Gases (port and starboard instruments).
Data are recorded at 5 second intervals. Near real-time data is available via the link "Visualisation tool for Underway Data." This dataset will be processed and archived within the CSIRO Oceans & Atmosphere (O&A) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart. Data is available at time intervals of 5 sec (NetCDF format), 10 sec and 5 min (ASCII format). Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the Cruise Summary Report and/or the Data Processing Report for this voyage.
