Australian Oceanographic Data Centre author Australian Oceanographic Data Centre author tableDigital The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and Bathythermograph data were collected from 34 Ships used by Australian Oceanographic Data Center. The data was collected over a period spanning from December 1907 to September 1990. Data was submitted by Andrew L. Walsh of New South Wales, Australia in one cassette of autochart XBT, RV FRANKLIN XBT and CTD data. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution, C116-Bathythermograph-XBT and C125-Bathythermograph file formats of NODC.

The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description.

The disc is mounted on a pole or line, and lowered slowly down in the water. The depth at which the disk is no longer visible is taken as a measure of the transparency of the water. This measure is known as the Secchi depth and is related to water turbidity.
