Raw TSG data from the Integrated Ecosystem Programme cruise: Southern Benguela (IEP:SB) on the Algoa Voyage 232, November 2016

This is raw Thermosalinograph (TSG) data from the Integrated Ecosystem Programme (IEP) cruise: Southern Benguela on the Algoa V232, 15 - 26 November, 2016. The Integrated Ecosystem Programme is a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional platform to undertake relevant science in the Southern Benguela; also functioning as a platform for collaboration and learning. All projects aim to develop an ecosystem indicator that can be used to effectively monitor and understand the Southern Benguela i.e physical, chemical, planktonic, microbial, seabird and benthic ecosystem indicators, used for ecosystem-based management.

本数据集为综合生态系统计划（Integrated Ecosystem Programme，简称IEP）巡航过程中采集的原始热盐计（Thermosalinograph，简称TSG）数据，巡航地点为南本格拉海区，航行于Algoa V232号船上，时间为2016年11月15日至26日。综合生态系统计划是一个多学科、多机构的合作平台，旨在进行与南本格拉海区相关的科学研究；同时，该计划亦作为协作与学习的平台。所有项目均致力于开发一套生态系统指标，该指标可用于有效监测与理解南本格拉海区的物理、化学、浮游生物、微生物、海鸟和底栖生态系统，并应用于基于生态系统的管理。
