Processed underway Thermosalinograph (TSG) observations from Algoa Voyage 221, November 2015 - December 2015

Here we present the 6-second resolution processed Thermosalinograph (TSG) data collected, between 30 November and 06 December 2015, during voyage 221 on the RS Algoa. A SeaBird SBE45 Thermosalinograph (TSG) is used to opportunistically collect underway near-surface temperature and conductivity measurements during research and monitoring cruises. Water is continuously pumped to the TSG from an intake located in the hull of the vessel, and the observations are continuously interfaced with navigational information. A temperature sensor close to the intake provides temperature measurements of the incoming water (T1). The temperature of the water inside the conductivity cell (T2) is used to accurately compute salinity (S) from the conductivity measurements (C).
