IMOS - Ships of Opportunity - Sea Surface Temperature data collected on the Research Vessel L'Astrolabe

Sea Surface Temperature Sensors for Australian Vessels Sub-Facility aims to supply near real-time SST data (within 24 hours) from vessels of opportunity and research vessels in the Australian region.

The data files contain SST underway observations from an SBE 38 sensor installed in a seawater intake collected on trips of a French research and Antarctic resupply vessel participating in the Australian Volunteer Observing Fleet (RV L'Astrolabe - FHZI) between Hobart (Tasmania) and Dumont D'Urville (Antarctica). The voyages take place during the Austral summer. The data are instantaneous hourly measurements. The data have been quality controlled by the Bureau of Meteorology.
