Raw underway Thermosalinograph (TSG) observations from SA Agulhas II Voyage 015, April 2015 - May 2015

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). Here we present the 10-second resolution raw TSG data collected between 09 April 2015 and 15 May 2015, during Voyage 015 on the SA Agulhas II.
