Diurnal snow pit measurements observed during the SIPEX II voyage of the...
Motivation: One of the characteristics of this voyage is that we have long ice stations which last for a few days. Taking this opportunity, we decided to examine the diurnal... -
Downward looking, ice-mounted ADCP data collection during the SIPEX II...
A 600KHz Teledyne RDI Workhorse Sentinel ADCP was deployed through a 10inch auger hole, flush with the base of the ice, looking downwards. At ice stations 2, 3, and 4 the... -
Light absorbing impurity profiles in snow on sea-ice collected during SIPEX II
Particulate impurities in snow such as dust and soot can absorb sunlight. This is important for snow albedo in the Arctic, but probably not in the Antarctic. Snow was collected... -
Krill Camera Footage and Traps from the SIPEX II Voyage of the Aurora Australis
The intention of the Deep Krill Camera and Trap System was to monitor and capture krill found during deep CTD operations. Two traps were installed on the CTD in place of Niskin... -
International circumpolar compilation of nutrient concentration data from...
This dataset is an international circumpolar compilation of currently available macronutrient concentration data from Antarctic land-fast sea ice cores collected at locations... -
Ice and snow pit measurements observed during the SIPEX II voyage of the...
This dataset contains routine measurements of snow and ice thickness, and snow-ice interface temperature, at 1m intervals along standard transects; snow property... -
Snow buoy deployments made during the SIPEX II voyage of the Aurora Australis, 2012
This document describes the deployment of five Ice Mass Balance Buoys (IMBs) and two automatic weather stations. These were primarily deployed on floes 2012103 and 20121029, as... -
Skin temperature data of the pack ice zone collected during the SIPEX voyage...
Skin temperature data over the East Antarctic pack ice zone were recorded by the RAPPLS airborne instrument package using a KT-19II infrared pyrometer. The KT-19II infrared... -
Investigation of sea ice physical processes in East Antarctica during early...
Public Summary for project 2901 This research will contribute to a large multi-disciplinary study of the physics and biology of the Antarctic sea ice zone in early Spring 2007.... -
Zooplankton Abundance_Umbrella net_sea ice zone
Zooplankton were collected during the winter-spring transition during two cruises of the Aurora Australis: SIPEX in 2007 and SIPEX II in 2012. The umbrella net was 2 metres... -
Snowpit measurements made from ice stations during the SIPEX II voyage of...
Note - these data should be used with caution. The chief investigator for the dataset has indicated that a better quality dataset exists, but the AADC have been unable to attain... -
S-band waveguide measurements of sea-ice samples ranging from 2.6 to 3.95...
This dataset contains data relating to an experimental method in which sea-ice samples were measured in an S-band microwave waveguide. This was conducted as a part of the 2012... -
Helicopter-borne passive-microwave observations during the SIPEX II voyage...
This dataset contains sea ice surface brightness temperatures using a portable passive-microwave radiometer operating at 36Ghz-H,V mounted to the undercarriage of a Squirrel... -
Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) measurements made on ice stations...
We deployed CTD sensors on five of the SIPEX 2 ice stations for collecting temperature and salinity of the water column under the sea ice. This dataset contains the raw data as... -
Zooplankton abundance based on RMT1 net during SIPEX winter-spring transition
Zooplankton were collected during the winter-spring transition with an RMT8+1 net during the SIPEX voyage in 2007. Only the RMT1 data are presented here. The net was deployed on... -
On-ice meteorological data collected using Davis Weather Stations, during...
Ice Stations 1-4 Two Davis weather stations are placed either side of a sea-ice ridge. The closest station to the ship is called 'unit 1', and the further station is 'unit 2'.... -
Lengths of key zooplankton species in the Indian Sector of the Southern Ocean
Zooplankton were collected during the winter-spring transition during two cruises of the Aurora Australis: SIPEX in 2007 and SIPEX II in 2012. To determine size and biomass, key... -
Surface krill sampling in relation to environmental condition collected...
We checked each site by taking ice cores and observing the algae biomass to determine the likelihood of krill living under the sea ice in each location. We also used a Remotely... -
Net Radiation measurements taken from ice stations 2,3,7 during the SIPEX II...
Note - these data should be used with caution. The chief investigator for the dataset has indicated that a better quality dataset exists, but the AADC have been unable to attain... -
Aurora Australis Southern Ocean oceanographic (CTD) data, cruise 2007/08 V1 (SIPEX)
We report on the late winter oceanography observed beneath Antarctic sea ice offshore from the Sabrina and BANZARE coast of Wilkes Land, East Antarctica (115- 125 E) in...
