Raw underway Thermosalinograph (TSG) observations from RS Algoa Voyage 266, November 2019
Here we present the 6-second resolution raw Thermosalinograph (TSG) data collected, between 04 November and 14 November 2019, during voyage 266 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...
