(http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/134/)
Instrument Description:

The SBE 48 is a high-accuracy temperature recorder with non-volatile memory, designed for shipboard determination of sea surface temperature. Installed with magnets just below the water line, the SBE 48's temperature sensor is in contact with the inside of the ship's hull. For more information, see the SBE48 Manual.

Dataset-specific description

Hull Temperature Sensor; magnetically coupled SBE48 to measure sea surface temperature through the hull. Sensor is located in the bow chamber outboard of the UCSW pump, a few feet aft of the UCSW intake. Sensor housing is contained in an insulation jacket to limit the effect of ambient bow chamber air.
