Sea surface temperature and salinity data from thermosalinographs collected from multiple platforms world-wide from 1996-01-01 to 1996-12-31 as part of the Global Ocean Surface Underway Data (GOSUD) project (GOSUD v3.0) (NCEI Accession 0163525)

This accession contains the Global Ocean Surface Underway Data (GOSUD) v3.0 thermosalinographs data from 1996-01-01 to 1996-12-31 as submitted to NOAA/NCEI. The data includes information about sea surface temperature and salinity, in netCDF formatted files, obtained with the use of thermosalinographs (TSG) installed in a variety of ships. The datasets provided by the various contributors are collected and assembled by GOSUD, an initiative of the International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) programme. All data are quality controlled and flagged by GOSUD following the GOSUD procedures and criteria. The measured variables or parameters include conductivity, sea surface salinity, sea surface water temperature (using internal sensor), water temperature (using external sensor, when available), latitude, longitude and time. The originator's data have different temporal resolutions ranging from three minute median filtered values to one hour point values. The spatial coverage of the dataset is global.

本数据集包含提交给美国国家海洋和大气管理局/国家环境信息中心（NOAA/NCEI）的1996年1月1日至1996年12月31日期间的全球海洋走航表层数据（Global Ocean Surface Underway Data，简称GOSUD）v3.0版本温盐计（thermosalinographs, TSG）数据。数据涵盖海表温度与盐度相关信息，存储于netCDF格式文件中，由安装于各类船舶的温盐计采集获取。该数据集由多方贡献者提供，并由GOSUD完成收集与汇编，后者是政府间海洋学委员会（Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, IOC）计划下的国际海洋数据与信息交换（International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange, IODE）的一项专项举措，所有数据均由GOSUD依照其既定质控流程与标准完成质量控制与标记。本次采集的变量或参数包括电导率、海表盐度、（使用内置传感器获取的）海表水温、（可用时启用外置传感器获取的）水温、纬度、经度与时间，原始数据的时间分辨率存在差异，范围从3分钟中值滤波值至1小时单点观测值不等，本数据集的空间覆盖范围为全球。
