Continuous thermosalinograph oceanography along RV SONNE cruise track SO313/1@en

Underway temperature and salinity data was collected along the cruise track with two autonomous measurement systems, called self-cleaning monitoring boxes (SMBs). Usually, the SMBs are changed after a predefined period, ~12 hours on this cruise. While temperature is taken at the water inlet in about 4 m depth, salinity is estimated within the SMB from conductivity and interior temperature. No temperature and salinity validation was performed. For details to all processing steps see Data Processing Report.
