Instruments

Thermosalinograph

Supplied Description:

Thermosalinograph, deployed on Sea-Bird SBE 21

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Thermosalinograph

Acronym: TSG

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/133/

Generic Description:

A thermosalinograph (TSG) is used to obtain a continuous record of sea surface temperature and salinity. On many research vessels the TSG is integrated into the ship's underway seawater sampling system and reported with the underway or alongtrack data.

Parameters

Date and time formats are described in python strftime() syntax.
