Description

Oceanus Cruises: 296, 301 and 303
Shipboard meteorology and sea surface measurements
along the ship's track

Note:
I (Jim Manning) suggest that investigators use Dick Payne's version of OCEANUS alongtrack data. The raw data I post here was processed primarily while underway and has obvious problems. There are unrealistic (sometimes negative) temperature and eratic salinity. Winds are of especially poor quality as noted below.

I have been delayed in getting this data on-line because I am not happy with my "corrected" wind (with ships motion removed) and, I am still not comfortable with posting the corrected wind so I have added a comment on the fact that it is questionable. I have notified the OCEANUS SSSG people about this problem. In the meantime I suggest that any one interested in wind for these periods use the NOAA buoy winds or Dick Paynes OCEANUS alongtrack data instead.

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.
