Raw underway Thermosalinograph (TSG) observations from the SEAmester and Agulhas System Climate Array (ASCA) Cruise on SA Agulhas II Voyage 058, June 2023

Here we present the 6-second resolution raw Thermosalinograph (TSG) data collected between 20 June and 29 June 2023 during the SEAmester and Agulhas System Climate Array (ASCA) Cruise on the SA Agulhas II Voyage 058. 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).
