Temperature - Salinity distributions / CTD data at sampling stations on a transect between Red Point and Bristol Point, Jervis Bay

This dataset is a component of the 'Jervis Bay Baseline Studies' project conducted by the Department of Defence, CSIRO and the Australian Defence Force Academy.

Approximately once per month between 1988-1991, temperature-salinity surveys were conducted on various transects within Jervis Bay and out across the continental shelf. This record describes CTD data from the N-S transect, running from Red Point in the north, to Bristol Point in the south. Measurements were made using a Neil Brown 'Smart' CTD. On each day of sampling, ~10 stations were chosen on the transect, with the CTD recorder measuring salinity, temperature and sigma-T through the water column.

For each day of sampling two resources are provided in a compressed (zipped) folder: 1) An excel document providing details of sampling locations and the raw CTD data collected, and 2) A map showing the location of each sampling station. For a number of sampling days a third resource is offered, providing vertically averaged CTD data over 4m depth bins.

This is one of nine child records that relate to the parent, 13391430-2ae8-11dd-a735-00188b4c0af8. A pdf outlining the structure and hierarchy of all metadata records relating to this project is available to download through this record. Also available is a pdf of a published working paper documenting this experiment and the results.

本数据集为澳大利亚国防部、联邦科学与工业研究组织(CSIRO)及澳大利亚国防学院共同实施的“杰维斯湾基线研究”项目的组成部分。
1988年至1991年间，研究团队约每月开展一次航次，在杰维斯湾及跨大陆架的多条断面上开展温盐调查。本次记录涵盖南北向断面的CTD数据，该断面北起雷德角，南至布里斯托尔角。测量工作采用尼尔·布朗“智能”CTD（Neil Brown 'Smart' CTD）完成。每个采样日，该断面上会布设约10个采样站位，CTD记录仪会同步记录水柱内的盐度、温度与西格马-T（sigma-T）数值。
每个采样日的数据集均打包为压缩（ZIP）文件夹，内含两类资源：1）一份Excel文档，详细记录采样站位信息与采集到的原始CTD数据；2）一张标注所有采样站位位置的地图。部分采样日还额外提供第三类资源，即基于4米深度分层的垂直平均CTD数据。
本记录属于对应父项目编号13391430-2ae8-11dd-a735-00188b4c0af8的9个子记录之一。可通过本记录下载一份PDF文档，概述该项目所有元数据记录的结构与层级体系。同时还可下载一份已发表的工作论文PDF，用于阐述本次实验的设计过程与研究结果。
