This bio-acoustic data was collected during a December 2017 voyage on the Australian Maritime College training vessel MV Bluefin as part of the Carbon Capture and Storage project. The survey was condu... morected in the nearshore of the Gippsland region. See voyage report MV Bluefin 201701 Voyage Summary.docx for detailed overview of the voyage. Four frequency bio-acoustic water column and seafloor backscatter. Simrad 38 kHz and 120 kHz echosounders are part of the Bluefin’s installed instrument suite. The 70 and 200 kHz echosounders are a temporary installation for this voyage. The transducers were mounted in a custom flange attached to the bottom of the vessel. 30 m transducer extension cables connect to the topside Simrad WBT Tube transceiver. Data was acquired using Simrad EK80 Version 1.12 software logging at EK60 resolution. Acoustic data was recorded in local time. Ship’s GPS was embedded in the acoustic data files for most of the voyage but some gaps occurred due to software issues. Ascii gps files at 1 and 10 second intervals are available that cover the duration of the voyage. GPS is also embedded in the multibeam data as a redundant source.

Springs activated by a trigger mechanism, released when the foot plates come into contact with the ocean floor, force the bucket jaws into the sediment in order to collect the sample. Safety features have been fitted to the grab to prevent the tripping mechanism from being triggered prematurely. Screens have also been fitted to the tops of the buckets, along with silicone flaps, to prevent sediment from being washed out during retrieval. CSIRO.

Marine National Facility - End of Voyage (EOV) Data - Published 04 Feb 2018
Projections of sea level rise (SLR) will lead to increasing coastal impacts during extreme sea level events globally, however, there is significant uncertainty around short-term coastal sea level vari... moreability and the attendant frequency and severity of extreme sea level events. In this study, we investigate drivers of coastal sea level variability (including extremes) around Australia by means of historical conditions as well as future changes under a high greenhouse gas emissions scenario (RCP 8.5). To do this, a multi-decade hindcast simulation is validated against tide gauge data. The role of tide-surge interaction is assessed and found to have negligible effects on storm surge characteristic heights over most of the coastline. For future projections, a couple of twenty-year long simulations are carried out over the time periods 1981-1999 and 2081-2099 using atmospheric forcing from four CMIP5 climate models. Results provide insights into how future atmospheric circulation changes may impact Australia’s coastal zone and highlight regions of potential sensitivity to atmospheric circulation changes. Areas of note are the Gulf of Carpentaria in the north where changes to the northwest monsoon could lead to relatively large increases in extreme sea levels during Austral summer. For the southern mainland coast the simulated scenarios suggest that a southward movement of the subtropical ridge leads to a small reduction in sea level extremes. less
NESP ESSC Coastal Hazards in a Variable and Changing Climate - - Published 01 Feb 2018
In Western Australia (WA), the Environmental Impact Assessment process requires dredging proponents to make scientifically sound predictions of the likely extent, severity, and persistence of environm... moreental impacts of the proposed activity under a spatially defined zoning pattern. This is achieved by using coupled hydrodynamic, wave and sediment transport models in conjunction with water quality (ecological) thresholds for sensitive receptors such as corals, filter feeders, or seagrasses/macroalgae. These predictions guide the scale and scope of associated monitoring programs, providing assistance to proponents as to where to establish environmental monitoring and reference sites. Increasingly, modelling is also being used by dredging programs to forecast a few days in advance, so as to understand the potential consequence of various dredging scenarios and optimize the dredging programs to minimize environmental damage. The overall objective of Project 2/3.4 was to improve the predictive capabilities of sediment dispersion modelling that incorporate dynamic plume and passive plume processes through assessing model sensitivity to key forcing and parameter values, such as met-ocean condition, particle settling velocity distribution, critical shear stress, sediment erosion and deposition, provide frequency and duration of biological stressor fields including suspended sediment concentration, sediment accretion and erosion, and available light; and provide guidance on developing best practice algorithms and parametrizations for dredge plume modelling. Based on the outcome Project 2/3.1, an appropriate modelling suite that includes hydrodynamics, waves, and sediment transport was chosen (Delft3D) to model the far-field passive plume. The model was set up and validated using the bathymetry and baseline data collected as part of the Chevron Australia Wheatstone Project, located near Onslow, Western Australia. The model outputs were assessed against monitoring data from Chevron Australia's Wheatstone Dredging program, including, remote sensing and in-situ data collected in Project 2/3.2. A 20 month hindcast of passive plume dispersal from the dredging project to the furthest extent of the passive plume were compared with the field data and MODIS images (where available). Spatial and temporal variability of plume dispersal under different forcing scenarios and sediment release rates were investigated and reported. This record pertains to the simulation data files. less

Marine National Facility - End of Voyage (EOV) Data - Published 16 Nov 2017
This record describes the End of Voyage archive from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2014_E04.5. This is the final trial voyage for the RV Investigator departing Hobart on the 2... more9th November and returning to Hobart on the 30th November 2014. The overall voyage objectives include equipment testing and procedure development. Data types to be collected include UWY data (not near real-time), Atmospheric Radon and SST Radiometer. The archive for the IN2014_E04.5 EOV data will be held within the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere Data Centre in Hobart. The EOV data collected and voyage documentation will be available to the O&A voyage participants via internal network. There is no EOV paper documentation for this voyage.less
