| Summary: | SA Agulhas II Voyage 052 ... : Here we present the 6-second resolution processed Thermosalinograph (TSG) data collected on the SEAmester and Agulhas System Climate Array (ASCA) Scientific Cruise on the SA Agulhas II Voyage 052 between 27 June and 07 July 2022. The cruise operated from Cape Town to the ASCA transect (~ 34°S) off Hamburg in the Eastern Cape, South West Indian Ocean. 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 objective of the SEAmester cruise was to undertake the ASCA ... |
