Description: 

Temperature at dissolved oxygen sensor; Acquired with Sea-Bird Scientific SBE 63 Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor. Temperature at the dissolved oxygen sensor was calculated from the raw SBE 63 thermistor voltage by applying the factory calibration:

L = ln (100000 * thermistor voltage / (3.3 - thermistor voltage)) Temperature [ deg C] = 1 / (TA0 + TA1*L + TA2*L2 + TA3*L3) - 273.15
