Each sampling event was recorded by scientists and technical support staff in a logbook that was kept in the operations room on board the Aurora Australis. This is a direct digital copy/transcription of the paper logbook. event_number: A unique event identifier in the log, in the order that the events were written down (usually but not always chronologically) event_type: The code defined and used by each research project to identify the types of equipment deployed or samples collected for an event. event_type_prefix: A non-mandatory prefix field used by some research projects to identify the type of an event event_type_number: A sequential number or alphanumeric-number combination defined and used by each research project to identify unique equipment deployment or sample collection events station_number: A universal (voyage-wide) station number used across all projects to identify a nominal lat/lon position defined during voyage planning leg: A nominally straight-line section of the voyage track defined during voyage planning. The voyage track was planned as a series of roughly N-S and E-W transects that intersected in some locations. Legs start at a station and continue through more stations to a vertex-station which is the start of the next leg. Legs are numbered consecutively. waypoint: A GPS waypoint used by Aurora Australis crew, AAD science technical support and researchers to identify target lat/lon positions in the voyage. Some waypoints correspond with station numbers. start_date_utc: The start date of the event in UTC start_time_utc: The start time of the event in UTC start_lat_deg: The latitude (whole degrees) of the vessel at the beginning of the event start_lat_min: The latitude (minutes) of the vessel at the beginning of the event start_lat_dec_deg: The latitude (decimal degrees) of the vessel at the beginning of the event start_lon_deg: The longitude (whole degrees) of the vessel at the beginning of the event start_lon_min: The longitude (minutes) of the vessel at the beginning of the event start_lon_dec_deg: The longitude (decimal degrees) of the vessel at the beginning of the event end_date_utc: The end date of the event in UTC end_time_utc: The end time of the event in UTC end_lat_deg: The latitude (whole degrees) of the vessel at the end of the event end_lat_min: The latitude (minutes) of the vessel at the end of the event end_lat_dec_deg: The latitude (decimal degrees) of the vessel at the end of the event end_lon_deg: The longitude (whole degrees) of the vessel at the end of the event end_lon_min: The longitude (minutes) of the vessel at the end of the event end_lon_dec_deg: The longitude (decimal degrees) of the vessel at the end of the event remarks: Comments/remarks written by researchers when completing the paper log transcribe_comments: Comments/remarks made by the transcriber when the log was digitised {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[62.4304, -66.969], [144.974, -66.969], [144.974, -44.729], [62.4304, -44.729], [62.4304, -66.969]]]} 62.4304 144.974 -66.969 -44.729 ACOUSTIC SOUNDERS AMD AMD/AU ANTARCTIC GATEWAY PARTNERSHIP BINOCULAR > BINOCULAR BONGO NETS CAMERAS CEOS CONTINENT > ANTARCTICA CPR > Continuous Plankton Recorder CTD > Conductivity, Temperature, Depth EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/INVERTEBRATES > ARTHROPODS > CRUSTACEANS > EUPHA EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/VERTEBRATES > BIRDS EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/VERTEBRATES > FISH EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/VERTEBRATES > FISH > RAY-FINNED FISHES EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/VERTEBRATES > MAMMALS > CARNIVORES > SEALS/SEA L EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/VERTEBRATES > MAMMALS > CETACEANS > BALEEN WHALE EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > PROTISTS EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > PROTISTS > PLANKTON EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > PLANKTON > PHYTOPLANKTON EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > PLANKTON > ZOOPLANKTON EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN ACOUSTICS EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN CHEMISTRY EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN CHEMISTRY > NUTRIENTS EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN CHEMISTRY > OCEAN TRACERS EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN CHEMISTRY > OXYGEN EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN CHEMISTRY > STABLE ISOTOPES EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN OPTICS > FLUORESCENCE EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > SALINITY/DENSITY EVENT LOG GEOGRAPHIC REGION > POLAR HPLC > High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph K-AXIS MOORINGS NISKIN BOTTLES NORPAC ZOOPLANKTON NET OCEAN > INDIAN OCEAN > KERGUELEN ISLANDS OCEAN > SOUTHERN OCEAN > BANZARE BANK OCEAN > SOUTHERN OCEAN > KERGUELEN PLATEAU OCEAN > SOUTHERN OCEAN > PRINCESS ELIZABETH TROUGH PAM > PORTABLE FLUORESCENCE ANALYZERS PLANKTON NETS PROFILING FLOAT R/V AA > R/V Aurora Australis TRAWL GET DATA documentDigital Download point for the event log HTML PROJECT HOME PAGE documentDigital Public information for AAS project AAS_4344 HTML VIEW RELATED INFORMATION documentDigital Citation reference for this metadata record and dataset.
