The merchant Vessel Highland Chief is a platform of the Enhancement of Measurements on Ships of Opportunity (SOOP) facility.

This is a container ship (callsigh VROB), 158 m length (beam 22 m, draught - 8 m) Bulk SST is measured by SBE48 hull contact sensor. The sensor is installed in --- and its depth is varied from - to - meters (depending on loading of vessel). SST data (along with meteorological data from ship AWS) are instantaneous, collected hourly. The data are quality controlled by the Bureau of Meteorology.
