Standard Underway data is continuously recorded consisting of:
(1) NAV: Navigation data: (dual GPS) Latitude, Longitude, Speed, Heading, course over ground, Gyros, and Doppler Log.
(2) TSG: ThermoSalinoGraph: Water Salinity, flow-rate, Temperature, Fluorescence, and pCO2.
(3) MET: Meteorological - Atmospheric (port and starboard): Humidity, Wind speed and direction (vane and ultrasonic), Radiometer, Pyranometer, PAR, IMOS sensors, Air temperature, Air pressure, Rain, Ozone and Trace gases.
Data are recorded at 5 second intervals. Near real-time data is available via the link below. This dataset will be processed and archived within the CSIRO Oceans & Atmosphere Data Centre in Hobart.
