6-second resolution raw Thermosalinograph (TSG) data collected between 12 July and 30 July 2022 on the SA Agulhas II Voyage 053. ... : Here we present the 6-second resolution raw Thermosalinograph (TSG) data collected between 12 July and 30 July 2022 on the SA Agulhas II Voyage 053. A SeaBird SBE45 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). This cruise was included as a final component of the SCALE programme (Southern oCean seAsonaL Experiment, https://scale.org.za), a bottom-up endeavour of the SA scientific community to address the limited multidisciplinary knowledge on the seasonal cycle of the Southern Ocean.
