Typically these missions have spanned the continental shelf on the inshore edge of the East Australian Current from 29.5-33.5oS. This comprehensive dataset of over 33,600 CTD casts from the surface to within 5 m of the bottom in water depths ranging 25-200 m provides new and unprecedented high resolution observations of the properties of the continental shelf waters adjacent to a western boundary current, straddling the region where is separates from the coast. We present gridded mean fields for temperature, salinity and density, but also dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll-a fluorescence indicative of phytoplankton biomass. This data is presented both as means and for each deployment. The results are gridded onto a grid of 16 cell of 0.25 degrees of latitude and 5 cells in longitude following the 20,50,80,110,140 ,200 isobaths across the shelf . {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[151.0, -33.5], [154.0, -33.5], [154.0, -29.500000000000004], [151.0, -29.500000000000004], [151.0, -33.5]]]} 151.0 154.0 -33.5 -29.500000000000004 CTD (Conductivity-Temperature-Depth Profilers) Concentration of chlorophyll per unit volume of the water body Concentration of oxygen {O2} per unit volume of the water body Countries | Australia Density of the water body Depth Fluorometers Global / Oceans | Pacific Ocean IMOS Facility | ANFOG | Australian National Facility for Ocean Glider Marine Features (Australia) | East Australian Current Oceans | Bathymetry | Water Depth Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Chlorophyll Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Oxygen Oceans | Ocean Optics | Fluorescence Oceans | Ocean Temperature | Water Temperature Oceans | Salinity/density | Conductivity Oceans | Salinity/density | Salinity Physical Oceanography Practical salinity of the water body Regional Seas | Tasman Sea States, Territories (Australia) | New South Wales Temperature of the water body Link to the data files documentDigital HTML Data paper in Scientific Data documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital License Graphic PNG Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML
