Low Head Coastal Station Data 1948-1955

This dataset contains oceanographic data collected at a 60m coastal station off Low head, Tasmania (lat. 40 deg. 45 min. S, long. 146 deg. 45 min. E) between December 1948 and August 1954. The station was set up under the CSIRO coastal monitoring programme in the 1940s and was sampled approximately monthly for temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, phosphate and nitrate. Data from 1954 onwards are stored on-line as part of the CMR hydrology archive in Hobart. Additional copies of the data are deposited with the NODC data archive (World Data Centre-A) in the U.S.A., and details of relevant data files can be viewed via their website by requesting the file inventory for this coastal station which is NODC platform code "09J1". Station details, plus printed versions of the data, have been published in CSIRO's "Oceanographical Station List" series.
