IMOS SOOP Sea Surface Temperature data collected on the Merchant Vessel RTM Wakmatha

This dataset contains Sea Surface Temperature (SST) underway observations collected on trips of a merchant vessel RTM Wakmatha (callsign 9V2768).

Bulk SST is measured by SBE48 hull contact sensor. The sensor is located 8-9 m when vessel is laden (Gladstone to Weipa) and 3-4 m when unloaded (Weipa to Gladstone).

Observed data are 1-minute median SST values and are retrieved from the vessel once an hour and quality controlled at the Bureau of Meteorology.

本数据集包含商船RTM Wakmatha（呼号9V2768）航行期间收集的海表温度（Sea Surface Temperature，SST）实时观测数据。

整体海表温度由SBE48船体接触式传感器测量。当船舶载货（格拉德斯通至韦帕航线）时，传感器位于水下8-9米处；空载（韦帕至格拉德斯通航线）时，则位于水下3-4米处。

观测数据为1分钟海表温度中位数，每小时从船舶获取一次，并由气象局进行质量控制。
