RV Investigator Voyage IN2024_V01 Bongo Net Data

This record documents bongo net data collected during the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator voyage IN2024_V01, with the title "Multidisciplinary Investigations of the Southern Ocean (MISO): linking physics, biogeochemistry, plankton, aerosols, clouds, and climate". The voyage took place between 2 January 2024 and 5 March 2024 (AEST), departing from Hobart and returning to Fremantle. MISO investigates how interactions between the atmosphere, ocean, and biosphere control processes such as cloud formation, iron supply to marine life, ocean carbon uptake, and drivers of rapid change in the deep ocean. Zooplankton were collected at 13 stations across polar, subantarctic, and subtropical regions, representing a range of temperatures and nutrient concentrations. Sampling was conducted using a double-barrel Bongo net (335 μm mesh) towed to 70 m depth for 10 minutes at each station.
