One CTD was mounted on a stainless-steel rosette and was connected to the following sensors: Pressure (Digiquartz with TC), two temperature sensors (ITS90 °C), two conductivity sensors, oxygen (SBE43), PAR (Biospherical Licor Chelsea sensor), fluorometer (Wet Labs ECO-AFL/FL), turbidity (Wet Labs ECO-NTU) and an altimeter. The second CTD was mounted on a titanium rosette used for trace metal clean collection of water samples, and was connected to the following sensors: Pressure (Digiquartz with TC), two temperature sensors (ITS90 °C), two conductivity sensors, two oxygen sensors (SBE43), transmissometer (Wet Labs C-Star), turbidity (OBS Seapoint) and an altimeter. The oxygen data were calibrated against discrete water samples analysed using the Winkler method, other sensor data used factory calibrations.</description></descriptions><geoLocations><geoLocation><geoLocationBox><westBoundLongitude>157.85</westBoundLongitude><eastBoundLongitude>-81.0</eastBoundLongitude><southBoundLatitude>-2.5</southBoundLatitude><northBoundLatitude>0.00526</northBoundLatitude></geoLocationBox></geoLocation></geoLocations></resource>
