South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Basin-wide Array (SAMBA) Monitoring Line on the RS Algoa Voyage 237, April 2017

The South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Basin-wide Array (SAMBA) Monitoring Line in the South-East Atlantic Ocean was conducted on the RS Algoa Voyage 237 from 04 April 2017 to 12 April 2017. The cruise operated from Slangkop, off Cape Town, westwards to 15° E, in the South Atlantic Ocean along the SAMBA transect. The objectives of the cruise were to recover, service and re-deploy five (5) Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) moorings (1 x shelf mooring and 4 tall moorings); complete 3 Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) 1000m depth casts for the calibration of the SeaBird SBE37 sensors deployed on the moorings along the SAMBA transect; collect underway Thermosalinograph (TSG); Surface Photosynthetically Active Radiation (SPAR) and Ship-mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (S-ADCP) data. Lastly, 4 Argo floats were deployed to enhance the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) of Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) in the South Atlantic Ocean...

Processed underway Thermosalinograph (TSG) observations from the Integrated Ecosystem Programme: Southern Benguela (IEP: SB) cruise on the Algoa Voyage 237, April 2017

Here we present the 6-second resolution processed TSG data collected between 04 April 2017 and 12 April 2017, during Voyage 237 on the Algoa. A SeaBird SBE45 Thermosalinograph (TSG) is used to opportunistically collect underway near-surface temperature and conductivity measurements during research and monitoring cruises. Water is continuously pumped to the TSG from an intake located in the hull of the vessel, and the observations are continuously interfaced with navigational information. A temperature sensor close to the intake provides temperature measurements of the incoming water (T1). The temperature of the water inside the conductivity cell (T2) is used to accurately compute salinity (S) from the conductivity measurements (C).
