This record describes the End of Voyage (EOV) data archive from the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator voyage IN2023_V03, titled "SOTS: Southern Ocean Time Series automated moorings for climate and carbon cycle studies southwest of Tasmania." The voyage took place between May 11, 2023 and May 25, 2023 (AEST), departing from Hobart and returning to Hobart.
Piggy-back projects:
Adding the Sub-Antarctic to an oceanic latitudinal study of diatom silica production rates
Cloud Aerosol Precipitation Radiation Interactions eXperiment (CAPRIX)
Ecological and carbon sequestration role of mesopelagic organisms in the Southern Ocean
Evolution of the Seafloor of the Australian-Antarctic Southern Ocean

The archive for the IN2023_V03 EOV raw data is curated by the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart, with a permanent archive at the CSIRO Data Access Portal (https://data.csiro.au/), providing access to voyage participants and processors of the data collected on the voyage.
All voyage documentation is available electronically to MNF support via the local network. Applications to access voyage documentation by non-CSIRO participants can be made via data-requests-hf@csiro.au.
All processed data from this voyage are made publicly available through the MNF Data Trawler (in the related links).
