Summary
Abstract: Untreated, macerated wastewater effluent has been discharged to the sea at Davis Station since 2005, when the old wastewater treatment infrastructure was removed. This environmental assessment was instigated to guide the choice of the most suitable wastewater treatment facility at Davis. The assessment will support decisions that enable Australia to meet the standards set for the discharge of ... View entire text

SHIPS Ancillary Description
Quality In the dataset over the 38-year period of 1965-2002, we used the value of water between 25 degrees N to 55 degrees S along the cruise track between Tokyo and Antarctica, during the period between 15 November and 28 December of each year.

Although the sea surface water was sampled with a plastic bucket or pump (8 m), no significant difference in the chl a between sampling procedures was found. The chl a was determined colourimetrically until 1980 (except in 1967 and 1972) and fluorometrically since 1981. The data collected colourimetrically was corrected to a concentration corresponding to the fluorometric measurements. Difference in the chl a between the solvents was not significant.
