This dataset contains temperature and salinity data for the Derwent Estuary (Tasmania), including Ralphs Bay and the mouths of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and Storm Bay. The data were collected on various transects over 2 day periods at 3-monthly intervals, between March 1992 and July 1994. Salinity and temperature were measured as a function of depth using a CTD, at 60 stations representing transects both along and across the estuary, ranging from New Norfolk to the river mouth. Contour plots derived from the data are given in the cited report (see references). The data form the physical component of the Derwent Estuary study, carried out as part of the CSIRO Coastal Zone Program.

This dataset comprises the current meter data collected from 2 localities in the Derwent Estuary, Tasmania (Blinking Billy Point and Tranmere) during October 1993-January 1994. The data contribute to the physical component of the Derwent Estuary study, carried out as part of the CSIRO Coastal Zone Program. There with 2 moorings and 4 current meters represented in this dataset. Parameters typically recorded in current meter data comprise east-west and north-south velocity components, water temperature, pressure, and salinity at a nominal depth for each current meter. The data have been processed and are archived as part of the holdings of the CMR Data Centre in Hobart.

Samples of Temperature and Salinity from a CTD profile have been measured at 6 Stations in the Derwent Estuary between August 2012 and January 2013.

This dataset comprises hydrological, biological and plankton data collected on Derwent Hunter Voyage DH 4/56. The voyage took place in the Bass Strait in October-November 1956. Samples of barracouta were taken for analysis of gut contents, and supplemented by data from fish caught by commercial fishermen over the same period. These were then compared with distribution data on krill (Nyctyphanes australis) and other zooplankton, principaly the copepod Calanus helgolandicus. Water masses were identified by associated hydrological sampling, comprising depth profiles of temperature, chlorinity, salinity, dissolved oxygen and total phosphorus. The hydrology data are published in CSIRO's "Oceanographical Station List" series, and the cruise track and the biological data are given in Division of Fisheries & Oceanography Report no. 5.

These data, reported in various volumes of CSIRO's "Oceanographical Station List" series between 1952 and 1957, comprise mainly measurements of temperature, salinity, nitrate, phosphate, and dissolved oxygen at estuary mouths and upstream for various distances, ranging from a few miles to almost 150 miles in some cases: e.g. for Tasmania's Derwent River, 20 stations were measured including various tributaries (Clyde, Ouse, Nive and Shannon) as well as lakes in the river system (Great Lake, Lake St. Clair). Sampling started in the 1940s and included the Nerang and Coomera Rivers, Moreton Bay and Brisbane River, Logan River and Dunwich Oyster Lease (QLD); Richmond River, Clarence River, Macleay River, Hastings River, Manning River, Port Stephens, Tilligerry Creek, Hawkesbury River, Middle Harbour and Port Jackson, Georges River-Botany Bay, Port Hacking, Lake Illawarra, Shoalhaven River, Jervis Bay, Clyde River, Moruya River, Tuross River, and Wagonga Inlet (NSW); Port Phillip Heads (VIC); and Tamar River, Derwent River, Huon River, D'Entrecasteaux Channel, Lake Dobson, and Penna Dam (TAS). In the early 1950s the study was extended to Fitzroy River, Mary River, Gladstone Harbour, Sandy Island Strait and Moreton Island Lagoon (QLD); Maianbar-Port Hacking and Lake Macquarie (NSW); Pittwater (TAS); and King George Sound, Wilson's Inlet, Nornalup Inlet, Hardy Inlet, Leschanault Inlet, Peel-Harvey Estuary and Swan River (WA). 24-hour studies were carried out at some of the sites, and bottom samples also taken for measuring phosphorus, iron, organic carbon and total nitrogen. By 1955-6, sampling was being mostly discontinued in favour of coastal station monitoring, with the exception of Lake Macquarie which was at that time the focus of a major study.

This dataset comprises hydrological and plankton data collected on Derwent Hunter Voyage DH 6/56 in the Tasman Sea, between December 1956 and February 1957. The dataset contains measurements of temperature, chlorinity, dissolved oxygen and total phosphorus at 20 stations in vertical sections to maximum depths ranging from 200 to 1500m, surface wind data, comments on zooplankton species composition and abundance (copepods and salps) studied at 12 stations, and phytoplankton (diatoms and dinoflagellates) from 11 stations. There are also brief comments about tuna catches. The hydrology data are published in CSIRO's "Oceanographical Station List" series, and discussed in Division of Fisheries & Oceanography Report no. 12, where the cruise track and the biological data are given.

This dataset contains the processed Hydrology or "Bottle Data" (HYD) data collected on Derwent Hunter cruise DH 13/54. The cruise took place in Tasmania E coast and Bass Strait, between October and December 1954 . This dataset has been processed and is archived within the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre in Hobart.

Samples of Temperature and Salinity from a CTD profile have been measured at Station 9 in the Derwent Estuary between August 2012 and January 2013.

This dataset contains the processed Hydrology or "Bottle Data" (HYD) data collected on Derwent Hunter cruise DH 9/54. The cruise took place in Tasmania E coast, Bass Strait, Tasman Sea between December 1953 and June 1954. This dataset has been processed and is archived within the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre in Hobart.
