Radon measurements - [view map]
RV Investigator Radon Data - Selected Voyages (2014 onwards)
The Radon measurements are obtained from a sensor mounted on the Research Vessel RV Investigator of the Australian Marine National Facility (MNF) managed by CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&A), and processed by ANSTO's Institute for Environmental Research. The dataset includes quality-controlled data collected from 2014 onwards. The RV Investigator voyages where data was collected and processed are listed below in this record. Potential users of the dataset are encouraged to discuss any aspects of its application with the contact persons listed in the dataset “Notes” tab: we are very enthusiastic and keen to support and participate in your science!
