Marion Island Relief Voyage on the SA Agulhas II Voyage 057, May 2023

The 2023 Marion Relief Voyage 057 offered the 11th opportunity to conduct multi-disciplinary, ship-based oceanographic research on board the SA Agulhas II en route to, from, and around, the sub-Antarctic Prince Edward Islands (PEIs). The ship-based research was conducted as a joint multi-institutional, multidisciplinary effort with scientists, research technicians, interns and students from the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment: Oceans & Coasts Research (DFFE-OCR), Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment: Specialist Monitoring Services (DFFE-SMS), Bayworld Centre for Research and Education (BCRE), the University of Cape Town (UCT) and the University of Pretoria (UP), all collaborating to achieve a variety of research and monitoring project objectives. For the 2023 Relief voyage 19 scientists; students; technicians and interns participated on the voyage from the various institutes and universities.

Processed underway Thermosalinograph (TSG) observations from the Marion Island Relief Voyage on SA Agulhas II Voyage 057, April 2023

Here we present the 6-second resolution processed Thermosalinograph (TSG) data collected between 16 April 2023 and 18 May 2023 during the Marion Island Relief Voyage on the SA Agulhas II Voyage 057. A SeaBird SBE45 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).
