Port Hacking 100m Coastal Station Data 1953-2010

This dataset contains oceanographic data collected at a 100m coastal station off Port Hacking, New South Wales (lat. 34 deg. 05 min. S, long. 151 deg. 15 min. E) from May 1953 (collection is ongoing). The station was set up under the CSIRO coastal monitoring programme in the 1950s and is sampled approximately monthly (weekly at some times) for temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, phosphate and nitrate. In April 2009, management of the station was taken over by the IMOS program. 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 IMOS sampling includes additional Biological data. The data collected from 1944 to March 2010 is 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 100m station - all data [CS-PHB-ALL].The ongoing data is currently available via the IMOS portal. Please see Data Links below.
Historically 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 "09E4". Station details, plus printed versions of the data, have been published in CSIRO's "Oceanographical Station List" series.
