Port Hacking 50m Coastal Station Data 1942-

This dataset contains oceanographic data collected at a 50m coastal station off Port Hacking, New South Wales (lat. 34 deg. 05 min. S, long. 151 deg. 13 min. E) from December 1942 (collection is ongoing). The station was set up under the CSIRO coastal monitoring programme in the 1940s and is sampled approximately monthly (weekly at some times) for temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, phosphate and nitrate. Since September 1997 the NSW EPA has collected the samples at this station. The current sampling regime is approximately monthly for 11 or 12 months per year. The data are stored on-line as part of the O&A hydrology archive in Hobart and is available via the O&A Data Trawler. Station identified as Port Hacking 50m station - all data [CS-PHA-ALL].
Historically, additional copies of the data were 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 "09E5". Station details, plus printed versions of the data, have been published in CSIRO's "Oceanographical Station List" series.
