Abstract : This dataset contains the processed Hydrology (HYD) data collected on Franklin voyage FR 06/91. The voyage took place in the equatorial West Pacific Ocean and waters in and around Vitiaz Strait, Papua New Guinea during 12 July - 1 August 1991. This dataset has been processed and is archived within the CSIRO Marine Research Data Centre in Hobart. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the cruise report for this voyage and/or the data processing report (as available).
Franklin on-voyage hydrology data are typically obtained from water samples collected in Niskin bottles at various depths during each CTD cast. Parameters measured normally comprise temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, phosphate, nitrate, silicate and nitrite.

Voyage/Survey Description

Cruise Fr 06/91 forms part of the Joint Australia - Japan moored instrument array in the western equatorial Pacific Ocean. The third Australian equatorial mooring was successfully deployed 3 miles west of the Tokai mooring (147 degrees E). The Japanese mooring was not recovered and all equipment is lost. 27 hours of high quality ADCP data were collected at the mooring site. A Tokai University mooring at 2 degrees N, 147 degrees E was recovered successfully and a CTD section was completed along 147 degrees as planned. The moored current meter array in the New Guinea coastal undercurrent was also conducted. The principal aim of this experiment is to directly measure the currents in and transport through Vitiaz Strait, PNG, over an annual cycle. Survey methods included ADCP and CTD sections.
