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.

本数据集包含托雷斯海峡马斯格（约克）岛附近气象站采集的气象与海水温度数据。该气象站依托国家环境研究计划（National Environmental Research Program, NERP）热带生态学分中心搭建，并得到托雷斯海峡地区管理局（Torres Strait Regional Authority, TSRA）的支持。
这些数据的采集旨在支撑国家环境研究计划热带生态学分中心主题1、项目2.3（托雷斯海峡）的相关科学研究（详见：http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/science/nerp/ ）。
本数据集可应其他研究人员及公众的申请对外提供。
该气象站由国家环境研究计划热带生态学分中心与托雷斯海峡地区管理局联合资助，为澳大利亚海洋科学研究所（Australian Institute of Marine Science, AIMS）Mk5型气象站系统，具体包含维萨拉（Vaisala）WXT520型气象传感器、LiCor 192型光传感器，以及多台水下传感器，其中包括海鸟（SeaBird）SBE37型温盐深剖面仪（Conductivity, Temperature and Depth, CTD）与海鸟（SeaBird）SBE39型温深传感器。
该气象站记录的参数包括：平均海平面下3米、6.4米处的海水温度、大气压力、空气温度、相对湿度、光合有效辐射（Photosynthetically Active Radiation, PAR）、真风向（矢量平均）、真风速（30分钟平均）。
该气象站每10分钟完成一次数据采集并将其存储至电子内存，通过3G移动通信网络将数据传输至澳大利亚海洋科学研究所（AIMS），经数据库存储后，可通过网页及其他系统对外发布。随后，研究人员将通过多套量程校验与历史数据校验流程对数据进行准确性核查，并计算得到长期汇总统计结果与潜在热胁迫指数。
