| DM 5/64 [details] |
B. Newell (CSIRO) | H.M.A.S Diamantina cruise Dm 5/64 was undertaken for suspended particulate matter studies, hydrology, primary production, zooplankton and particulate matter sampling in the east Indian Ocean off Western Australia. |
| DM 2/64 [details] |
D. Rochford (CSIRO) | H.M.A.S Diamantina cruise Dm 2/64 was undertaken to study the hydrological structure in the equatorial region along 92 degrees and 95 degrees E and to look for indications of an Indian Ocean under-current. |
| DM 5/63 [details] |
D. Rochford (CSIRO) | Particulate matter, organic phosphorus, productivity and plankton studies |
| DM 2/62 [details] |
B. Hamon (CSIRO) | H.M.A.S Diamantina cruise Dm 2/62 was undertaken to study the hydrological structure of the SE Indian Equatorial Current including the divergence along its northern boundary, the eastern end of the counter current and the southern boundary of the monsoon current during the period of the strongest monsoons, and to also study the associated biological systems. Bathythermograph casts were conducted and the following samples were collected for on board and laboratory analyses; hydrology (surface and deep), primary production, pigments and zooplankton. |
| DM 1/62 [details] |
B. Newell & D. Rochford (CSIRO) | H.M.A.S Diamantina cruise Dm 1/62 was undertaken to compare the region's hydrological structure and general biological features with previous cruises including chemistry and radiation studies. Bathythermograph casts were conducted and the following samples were collected for on board and laboratory analyses; hydrological (deep and surface), primary production, pigments, zooplankton and phytoplankton. The voyage took place from Fremantle and work commenced off north-west Australia to Darwin, then in the Banda and Java Seas to Singapore, then south via Sunda Strait to North West Cape, then transit back to Fremantle, from 12 February to 25 March 1961. |
| DM 3/61 [details] |
D. Tranter & J. MacIntyre (CSIRO) | H.M.A.S Diamantina cruise Dm 3/61 was undertaken to study the plankton of the area particularly in regions of varying productivity, and to compare zooplankton sampling methods. Bathythermographs casts were conducted and the following samples were collected for on board and laboratory analyses; hydrological (deep stations and surface), primary production, pigments, seston, phytoplankton, and zooplankton samples. Transparency recordings and enrichment experiments were also carried out. The voyage took place off the Western Australian coast, in the Indian Ocean, north to Java and off the north coast of Australia, in the Timor Sea, from 20 July to 26 August 1961. |
| DM 2/61 [details] |
B. Newell (CSIRO) | H.M.A.S Diamantina cruise Dm 2/61 was undertaken to repeat work done on cruise Dm 2/60 in the Indian Ocean, Timor and Java Seas on water circulation and upwelling and their effects on productivity. Bathythermograph casts were made at stations and the following samples were collected for on board and laboratory analyses; hydrology (deep and surface), primary production, pigments, phytoplankton and zooplankton. |
| DM 1/61 [details] |
D. Rochford & D. Tranter (CSIRO) | H.M.A.S Diamantina cruise Dm 1/61 was undertaken to locate and chart the Diamantina Deep, to examine the composition of water masses, to extend the network of oceanographical stations worked during cruise Dm 1/60, and to work lines of stations south of Australia in a plan involving intensive sampling by H.M.A.S. Gascoyne in an adjacent area to the east. Bathythermograph casts were conducted and the following samples were collected for on board and laboratory analyses; hydrology (surface and deep), primary production, pigments, phytoplankton and zooplankton. |
| DM 3/60 [details] |
D. Rochford (CSIRO) | H.M.A.S Diamantina cruise Dm 3/60 was undertaken to carry out oceanographic sampling close to the bottom in the Indian Ocean (area 10 degrees to 32 degrees S, 85 degrees to 110 degrees E), to determine the extent of the influx of Antartic Intermediate, Atlantic Deep and Antartic Bottom water. Hydrological (deep stations and surface), primary production, pigments, phytoplankton and zooplankton samples were collected and analysed on board and back at the Cronulla laboratory. |
| DM 1/60 [details] |
A. Crooks & R. Davies (CSIRO) | H.M.A.S Diamantina cruise Dm 1/60 was undertaken to provide a series of oceanographical sections from the eastern Bight region to 100 degrees E to supplement and link data from Discovery II and Ob meridional sections at the limits of this area. On this cruise 114 stations were occupied and the following work done at each station. Bathythermograph casts were made at 109 stations. Surface hydrology at 108 stations and deep hydrology casts at 56 stations. Primary production, pigment, and zooplankton samples from 27 stations and quantitative phytoplankton samples at 75 stations. Samples collected were analysed on board and back at the Cronulla laboratory. The voyage took place between Fremantle and Adelaide, from 2 February to 23 March 1960. |
| DM 2/59 [details] |
D. Rochford & A. Crooks (CSIRO) | H.M.A.S Diamantina cruise Dm 2/59 was undertaken to examine the structure of waters in the east Indian Ocean between 10-32 degrees S, 99-119 degrees E. Particularly to investigate the influx of Antarctic Bottom water. Hydrological (deep stations and surface), primary production, pigments, phytoplankton and zooplankton samples were collected and analysed on board and back at the Cronulla laboratory. The voyage took place in the Indian Ocean between Fremantle and the Cocos and Christmas Islands, from 11 October to 19 November 1959. |
| DM 1/59 [details] |
H.M.A.S. Diamantina cruise Dm 1/59 was undertaken for oceanographical (chemical, physical and biological) gear trials in passage from Sydney to Fremantle. |
