The Merchant Vessel Wana Bhum is a platform of the Enhancement of Measurements on Ships of Opportunity (SOOP) facility. The vessel is a container ship (callsign HSB3403 ), 196 m length (beam 32 m, draught - 10 m). It performed regular transects around Australian coasts up to Singapore, with use of this ship for data collection now discontinued (April 2013). SST data are processed from the hull-contact sensor SBE48 which is located in the bow thruster room at 8.5 m depth. Observed data are 1-minute median SST values and are retrieved from the vessel once an hour and quality controlled at the Bureau of Meteorology. A daily file is available after 0100 UTC. High-resolution 1-minute median data are available in the delayed mode approximately every 3 months.
