RV Investigator Voyage IN2018_T01 Triaxus (undulating CTD) Data

This record describes the data (CTD, Dissolved Oxygen, Transmissometer, PAR, ECO Triplet, Nitrate, Fluorescence and LOPC) collected using the towed TRIAXUS platform on Investigator voyage IN2018_T01, titled: "Physical and biogeochemical gradients in the East Australian Current." The voyage took place between April 6 and April 14, 2018 departing from Hobart (TAS) and arriving in Brisbane (QLD).

Data for 2 Triaxus deployments were acquired in CAP CTD acquisition software using the Seabird SBE911 CTD 23. The deployments were conducted with a standard tow speed of between 7 to 10 knots and wire out ranged from 600 to 1740 m. Second deployment ended early due to loss of fibre communications.

Dissolved oxygen sensors, Transmissometer and Cosine Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) sensor were also installed on the auxiliary A/D channels of the CTD. In addition to the auxiliary channels, ECO Triplet, Nitrate and LOPC were mounted on the Triaxus as attached payloads.

The collected data were subsequently processed and archived within the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&A) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart.
