Seawater temperature records for the UK Shelf - 15 - RV Cefas Endeavour FerryBox Monitoring System
Summary
This dataset has been extracted as part of an exercise to assemble "all" Cefas
Temperature Data and publish it in a Data paper. It is one of 17 Cefas data
sources assembled. Ferryboxes are packages of instruments that are usually
placed on board commercial ships such as ferries to monitor temperature,
salinity and other water properties. This data series is from 2009-2013 from
the cruises of the RV Cefas Endeavour. The RV Cefas Endeavour was commissioned
in 2003 and fitted with a FerryBox system in 2009. Unlike most FerryBox
systems (see http://www.ferrybox.org_ and
http://noc.ac.uk/ocean–watch/shallow–coastal–seas/ferrybox_), RV Cefas
Endeavour runs a combination of regular (usually annual) monitoring cruises in
UK Shelf waters (with a focus on ICES Mandated Surveys for fisheries
assessments) and bespoke research cruises. This provides a widespread coverage
with some repeat components in time and space.

Lineage
Continuous logged data gathered by the Ferrybox on the RV Cefas Endeavour. Sample inlet is at 4m depth. Parameter included here = sea surface temperature. Other parameters available from Cefas include sea surface salinity, chlorophyll fluorescence, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, wind speed and direction, air temperature and humidity, & barometric pressure. The multiple sources are described in 17 separate metadata entries under the same Title, e.g. Seawater temperature records for the UK Shelf - 15 - RV Cefas Endeavour FerryBox Monitoring System. These data have been described in detail via the following publication. Morris, D. J., Pinnegar, J. K., Maxwell, D. L., Dye, S. R., Fernand, L. J., Flatman, S., Williams, O. J., and Rogers, S. I.: Over 10 million seawater temperature records for the United Kingdom Continental Shelf between 1880 and 2014 from 17 Cefas (United Kingdom government) marine data systems, Earth Syst. Sci.
