Masig (Yorke) Island Automated Marine Weather And Oceanographic Station

This dataset contains meteorological and sea temperature data from the weather station located near Masig (Yorke) Island in the Torres Strait, installed under the Tropical Ecosystems hub of the National Environmental Research Program (NERP) and supported by the Torres Strait Regional Authority (TSRA). These data are collected to support scientific research within the Tropical Ecosystems hub of the National Environmental Research Program (NERP - see: http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/science/nerp/ ) Theme 1, Program 2.3 (Torres Strait).Data are made available on request to other researchers and to the public. This weather station is funded under the Tropical Ecosystems hub of the National Environmental Research Program (NERP) in conjunction with the Torres Strait Regional Authority (TSRA). The weather station is an AIMS Mk5 system consisting of a Vaisala WXT520 weather station, a LiCor 192 Light Sensor and a number of in-water sensors including a SeaBird SBE37 CTD (Conductivity, Temperature and Depth) and SeaBird SBE39 (Temperature and Depth).Data recorded: Water Temperature (3m, 6.4 at MSL), Barometric Pressure, Air Temperature, Humidity, Solar Radiation (PAR), Wind Direction True (vector averaged), Wind Speed True (30 min average).The weather stations collect and store data in electronic memory every ten minutes, the station uses the 3G phone network to send the data to AIMS where it is stored in a database and then made available via the web and other systems. The data are then checked for accuracy using a number of range and historical checks, longer term summeries are then calculated along with indicies of potential thermal stress.

本数据集包含位于托雷斯海峡Masig（Yorke）岛附近气象站的气象及海水温度数据，该气象站由国家环境研究计划（National Environmental Research Program, NERP）热带生态系统中心安装，并得到托雷斯海峡地区管理局（Torres Strait Regional Authority, TSRA）支持。

这些数据的采集旨在支持国家环境研究计划（NERP）热带生态系统中心主题1、项目2.3（托雷斯海峡）范围内的科学研究（NERP详情参见：http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/science/nerp/）。数据集可应其他研究者及公众的请求提供。

该气象站由国家环境研究计划（NERP）热带生态系统中心联合托雷斯海峡地区管理局（TSRA）资助，采用AIMS Mk5系统，包含Vaisala WXT520气象站、LiCor 192光传感器，以及若干水下传感器，如SeaBird SBE37电导率-温度-深度仪（Conductivity, Temperature and Depth, CTD）和SeaBird SBE39温度-深度仪。

记录的数据包括：水温（3米、平均海平面处6.4米）、气压、气温、湿度、太阳辐射（光合有效辐射，PAR）、真风向（矢量平均）、真风速（30分钟平均）。

气象站每十分钟采集一次数据并存储于电子存储器中，通过3G移动网络将数据发送至AIMS，数据在该处存入数据库后，通过网络及其他系统向用户开放。随后，数据会通过一系列范围检查与历史校验确保准确性，还会计算长期统计摘要及潜在热应力指数。
