This record describes the End of Voyage (EOV) data archive from the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator voyage IN2022_V03, titled "SOTS: Southern Ocean Time Series automated moorings for climate and carbon cycle studies southwest of Tasmania". The voyage took place between May 4, 2022 and May 15, 2022 (AEST), departing from Hobart and returning to Hobart.
Projects:
- SOTS: Southern Ocean Time Series automated moorings for climate and carbon cycle studies southwest of Tasmania (Primary).
- Ecological and carbon sequestration role of mesopelagic organisms in the Southern Ocean (Supplementary).
- Argo float deployments (Piggy-back).
- Cloud Aerosol Precipitation Radiation Interactions eXperiment (CAPRIX) (Piggy-back).
- Quantification of dust deposition to the ocean using thorium isotopes in seawater and aerosol sampling (Piggy-back).

The archive for the IN2022_V03 EOV raw data is curated by the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart, with a permanent archive at the CSIRO Data Access Portal (https://data.csiro.au/), providing access to voyage participants and processors of the data collected on the voyage.
All voyage documentation is available electronically to MNF support via the local network. Applications to access voyage documentation by non-CSIRO participants can be made via NCMI_DataLibrarians@csiro.au.
