Processed underway Thermosalinograph (TSG) observations from the Algoa Voyage 269, October 2020
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...

Carbonate chemistry time-series from discrete sampling at thirteen sites in Algoa Bay, South Africa, 2018 - 2020
Coastal monthly carbonate chemistry data and other associated physico-chemical parameters from Algoa Bay, on the temperate south coast of South Africa. Eight offshore and five inshore sites were sampled. Temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen were measured at each offshore site, and temperature was measured at each inshore site. At each offshore and inshore site, a single sea water sample was collected at the surface for later analysis of pH and total alkalinity (TA) in the laboratory....
