Rottnest Ferries Underway Temperature 2016-09-14

This dataset contains the Underway (UWY) data collected on commercial ferries plying the Rottnest to mainland route. Voyages take place on a commercial schedule. A Seabird SBE38 sensor is permanently mounted on the ferry in the engine cooling waster intake. A monitoring computer records sea surface temperature whenever the vessel achieves more than a minimum preprogrammed speed over ground. Position is determined from a GPS unit. Data is transmitted to CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research centre in Hobart on the hour every hour. The vessel traverses the route from Hillarys Boat harbour to Rottnest 3 or four times per day except during a winter vessel maintenance period. This dataset has been processed and is archived within the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre in Floreat, Western Australia

本数据集包含往返罗特尼斯岛与大陆航线的商业渡轮所收集的航行中（Underway，UWY）数据。渡轮遵循商业运营时间表航行，其发动机冷却水入口处永久安装有Seabird SBE38传感器。当船只对地速度超过预设最低阈值时，监控计算机将记录海面温度；位置信息由GPS单元获取。数据每小时整点传输至位于霍巴特的CSIRO海洋与大气研究中心。除冬季船只维护期外，该船每日从希拉里船港往返罗特尼斯岛3至4次。本数据集已完成处理，并存档于西澳大利亚州弗洛里亚特的CSIRO海洋与大气研究数据中心。
