Instrument: Sea-Bird SBE 48 Hull Temperature Sensor

Acronym: SBE 48

External Identifier: skos:broadMatch: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/134/

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.

Datasets (8)

Dataset Name	PI-Supplied Description	PI-Supplied Name
Alongtrack data collected continuously by the ship's underway acquisition system from R/V Knorr cruise KN207-01 in the southern tip of Nova Scotia to Bermuda in 2012 (SargassoSeaLipids project)	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.

Alongtrack data collected continuously by the ship's underway acquisition system from R/V Knorr cruise KN207-03 in the North Atlantic (transect from Ponta Delgada, Azores to Reykjavik, Iceland) in 2012 (NA-VICE project)	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.

Alongtrack data collected continuously by the ship's underway acquisition system from R/V Oceanus OC473 in the western North Atlantic, 35-50 degrees North in 2011 (OAPS project)	Hull Temperature Sensor; magnetically coupled SBE48 to measure sea surface temperature (C) through the hull. Sensor is located in the bow. Sensor housing is contained in an insulation jacket to limit effect of ambient bow chamber air.	SBE 48 Hull Temperature Sensor
