Socheongcho Ocean Research Station (Socheongcho ORS): delayed mode dataset, annual release (2020)

socheongcho ocean research station (socheongcho ors) opened in october 2014, and was built to help advance the understanding of the dynamics of the yellow sea, including its influence on korea’s marine, terrestrial, and atmospheric environments, via the continuous and simultaneous multidisciplinary observation of local air and sea environments.socheongcho ors is located in the central yellow sea about 50 km off the western coast of the korean peninsula. its steel-jacket framed tower-type platform was built near the submarine rock named “socheongcho” by the korea institute of ocean science and technology (kiost). the korea hydrographic and oceanographic agency (khoa) has operated this platform since january 1, 2016.socheongcho ors stands 42 m in height above the datum level (dl) and consists of a boat landing plus 7 decks (bottom deck, intermediate deck, cellar deck, accommodation deck, main deck, roof deck, and heli deck). most of its meteorological instruments and sensors are installed on the roof deck, including two anemometers, two barometer, two air temperature sensors, and two relative humidity sensors. ocean temperature and salinity have been relatively consistently measured at socheongcho ors. aanderaa inductive-type conductivity-temperature (ct) sensors are installed at depths of 5.5 m throughout the entire year, operating at 1 min sampling intervals by khoa. residential facilities are on the accommodation deck and the electrical control room are on the main deck, while a seawater desalination system and a diesel generator system are installed on the cellar deck.

社会科学海洋研究站（Socheongcho ORS）于2014年10月启用，旨在助力深化对黄海动力学特性的理解，包括其对韩国海洋、陆地及大气环境的潜在影响，通过持续且同步的多学科观测当地空气与海洋环境实现。社会科学海洋研究站位于黄海中部，距离朝鲜半岛西海岸约50公里。其由韩国海洋科学技术院（KIOST）建造的钢制外壳框架塔形平台，坐落于名为“Socheongcho”的潜岩附近。自2016年1月1日起，韩国水文海洋局（KHOA）运营此平台。社会科学海洋研究站高出基准面（DL）42米，由一处码头及7层甲板（底层甲板、中间甲板、地下室甲板、住宿甲板、主甲板、屋顶甲板及直升机甲板）组成。大部分气象仪器和传感器均安装在屋顶甲板，包括两台风速计、两台气压计、两台空气温度传感器及两台相对湿度传感器。海洋温度和盐度在社会科学海洋研究站得到了相对稳定和一致的测量。KHOA全年于5.5米深度安装了Aanderaa感应型电导率-温度（CT）传感器，以1分钟采样间隔运行。住宅设施位于住宿甲板，而电力控制室则位于主甲板，同时地下室甲板安装了海水淡化系统和柴油发电机组。
