Dataset: IMOS SOOP Sea Surface Temperature data collected on the Merchant Vessel Stadacona

Description

This dataset contains Sea Surface Temperature (SST) underway observations collected on trips of a merchant vessel Stadacona (callsign C6FS9).

Bulk SST is measured by SBE48 hull contact sensor. The sensor is installed in the engine compartment and its depth is varied from 2 to 7 meters (depending on loading of vessel). SST data (along with meteorological data from ship AWS) are instantaneous, collected every 3 hours.
