Algoa Voyage 285 ... : Here we present the 6-second resolution processed Thermosalinograph (TSG) data collected during the The South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Basin-wide Array (SAMBA) Monitoring Line cruise, which was conducted on the Algoa Voyage 285 between 27 September 2022 and 07 October 2022. 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). The cruise operated from Slangkop, off Cape Town, westwards to 11° E, in the South Atlantic Ocean along the SAMBA transect and ...
