Properties of seawater from a Sea-Bird TSG temperature and conductivity sensor mounted on the continuous surface water sampling system during campaign TARA_20100624Z of the Tara Oceans expedition 2009-2013

The Tara Oceans Expedition (2009-2013) sampled the world oceans on board a 36 m long schooner, collecting environmental data and organisms from viruses to planktonic metazoans for later analyses using modern sequencing and state-of-the-art imaging technologies. Tara Oceans Data are particularly suited to study the genetic, morphological and functional diversity of plankton. The present data publication contains measurements from the Continuous Surface Sampling System [CSSS] made during one campaign of the Tara Oceans Expedition. Water was pumped at the front of the vessel from ~2m depth, then de-bubbled and circulated to a Sea-Bird TSG temperature and conductivity sensor. System maintenance (instrument cleaning, flushing) was done approximately once a week and in port between successive legs. All data were stamped with a GPS.塔拉海洋科考航次（Tara Oceans Expedition，2009-2013年）依托一艘总长36米的纵帆船完成环球海洋采样，收集了涵盖病毒至浮游后生动物的各类环境数据与生物样本，以供后续借助现代测序技术与顶尖成像手段开展相关分析。塔拉海洋数据集（Tara Oceans Data）尤其适用于研究浮游生物的遗传、形态与功能多样性。本次公开数据集收录了塔拉海洋科考航次单次巡航中，连续表层采样系统（Continuous Surface Sampling System，CSSS）所获取的测量数据。采样时从船体前部约2米水深抽取海水，经脱泡处理后输送至Sea-Bird TSG温盐传感器。系统维护（含仪器清洁与冲洗）约每周开展一次，并在相邻航次间的停靠港口完成。所有数据均标注有GPS时间戳。
