Thermosalinometer TRANSMED, Cap Camarat, intermediate data set

Data of the thermosalinometer (TRANSMED system) on board the MV Cap Camarat: Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and Sea Surface Salinity (SSS)are recorded underway at ~2m deep, between Marseilles (MRS) and Algeria. Data in (near)real time are available on Coriolis, GOSUD and MyOcean. Data are checked at intermediate level on a ~monthly basis and sent to HyMeX/SEDOO . BEFORE USING THIS DATA SET, CHECK THE AVAILIBILITY OF THE DEFINITIVE DATA SET Data set to link with the definitive data set (following the yearly recalibaration of sensors), and with SEOS atmospheric sensors (HyMeX TS6b). TRANSMED is also fostered by the CIESM (www.ciesm.org). See readme file. Observing strategy: Flow-through thermosalinometer SBE 45 + high quality temperature sensor SBE 38 embedded in the TRANSMED system record SST and SSS underway at ~2m deep on a ship of opportunity. Data are transmitted in (near)real time (hourly files). Weekly rotations between MRS and Algeria.
