Note: Karen Fisher (Cornell Univ.) played the major role in processing our EDWIN LINK alongtrack data. I have simply modified and executed her Perl routines to comply with GLOBEC standards. Very little cleaning of the raw data was conducted (Jan 2000 Jim Manning).

Instruments

Thermosalinograph

Supplied Description:

Thermosalinograph used to obtain a continuous record of sea surface temperature and salinity.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Thermosalinograph

Acronym: TSG

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/133/

Generic Description:

A thermosalinograph (TSG) is used to obtain a continuous record of sea surface temperature and salinity. On many research vessels the TSG is integrated into the ship's underway seawater sampling system and reported with the underway or alongtrack data.
