Underway voyage data collected from Australian Antarctic Division chartered ships

The type of data collected varies depending on the vessel (and exactly what sensors are in place on each ship). Underway data typically include a number of meteorological and oceanographic parameters (such as sea surface temperature, air temperature, humidity, UV levels, water depth, salinity, etc) as well as ship parameters (such as heading, speed, position, etc).

Data can typically be extracted via the Marine Science Underway Data Tool, available at the provided URL. Data can be extracted in various formats (such as text, excel, netcdf) and in various permutations. Underway data collection began in 1985 on the Nella Dan.
