  • On every voyage of the Aurora Australis, approximately 50 onboard sensors collect data on average every 10 seconds. These data are known as the underway datasets. The type of data collected include water and air temperature, wind speeds, ship speed and location, humidity, fluorescence, salinity and so on. For the full list of available data types, see the website. These data are broadcast "live" (every 30 minutes) back to Australia and are available via the Australian Oceanographic Data Centre's portal (see the provided link). Once the ship returns to port, the data are then transferred to Australian Antarctic Division servers where they are then made available via the Marine Science Data Search system (see the provided URL). This dataset contains the underway data collected during Voyage 1 of the Aurora Australis Voyage in the 2012/13 season. Purpose of voyage: Davis Resupply Underway (meteorological) data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (or via the Related URL section).

  • This dataset contains the underway data collected during the Aurora Australis Voyage 6 1997-98. This was a dedicated marine science cruise researching Subantarctic oceanography. Underway (meteorological, fluorometer and thermosalinograph) data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division web page. No Echolistener (depth) data were logged during this voyage. For further information, see the Marine Science Support Data Quality Report via the Related URL section.

  • This dataset contains the underway data collected during the Aurora Australis Voyage 1 2000-01. This voyage departed Hobart for Port Arthur to carry out calibrations prior to travelling on to Davis, Mawson, Heard Island, the McDonald Islands and then Fremantle. Underway (meteorological, fluorometer and thermosalinograph) data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (or via the Related URL given below). For further information, see the Marine Science Support Data Quality Report at the Related URL below.

  • This dataset contains the underway data collected during the Aurora Australis Voyage 4 2000-01. This voyage departed Fremantle and visited Heard Island, Mawson, Davis and Sansom Island prior to returning to Hobart. Underway (meteorological, fluorometer and thermosalinograph) data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (or via the Related URL section). For further information, see the Marine Science Support Data Quality Report at the Related URL section.

  • This dataset contains the underway data from Voyage 1 1996-97 (WASTE) of the Aurora Australis. This was a manned marine science cruise. CTD data were also obtained from Hobart to the ice edge along the WOCE SR3 line. Oceanographic data from this voyage are held by the Principal Investigator Dr. Steve Rintoul at CSIRO. Marine Science Support Data Quality and Programmer's Reports are available via the Related URL section.

This dataset contains the underway data collected during Voyage 2/3 of the Aurora Australis Voyage in the 2013/14 season. Voyages 2 and 3 were combined in the 2013/2014 season due to the delay in voyage 1 resulting from the helicopter accident at Davis station. This voyage as also diverted to the Akademic Shokalsky tourist incident to render assistance. Purpose of voyage: Macquarie Island summer changeover and Casey resupply Leader: Ms. Leanne Millhouse Deputy Leader: Mr. Mark Skinner Underway (meteorological) data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (or via the Related URL section).

  • This dataset contains the underway data collected during the Aurora Australis Voyage 5 2005-06. This voyage began in Hobart, and went to Casey and Macquarie Island before returning to Hobart. Underway (meteorological) data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (or via the Related URL section).

  • This dataset contains the underway data collected during the Aurora Australis Voyage V1 2006/07. Voyage leader: Doug Thost Underway (meteorological) data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (or via the Related URL section).

This dataset contains the underway data collected during Voyage 5 of the Aurora Australis Voyage in the 2011/12 season.

  • This dataset contains time-series of current profiles from beneath the Amery Ice Shelf obtained from an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) (RDI 300 kHz broadband Workhorse) on the AM06 mooring string. The ADCP was positioned ~108 m below the base of the ice shelf and oriented to look upwards (i.e. toward the base of the shelf) to examine the water cavity boundary layer and the range (distance) from the instrument to the ice-ocean interface. Accounting for instrument displacement by ocean currents, changes in range are expected to be indicative of basal melting. The dataset contains ~1 year of velocity data from 07/01/2010 sampled at 30 minute intervals. In the vertical, the ADCP sampled 27 bins, with a measurement every 4m. Key variables in the dataset include ocean velocity (u, v, w), instrument orientation (pitch, roll, heading) and distance from the instrument to the ice shelf base (btdistance), as well as quality control parameters such as beam correlation (avbeamcor), strength of the return/echo amplitude (ampav) and velocity error (errv). Two data files are archived here, the raw data "adcp_am06_1noqc.nc" and the quality-controlled data "adcp_am06_1qc.nc". Descriptions of the quality control and post-processing are found in "readme.rtf" and notes and preliminary plots are found in "borehole2010_11.pdf".
