Underway temperature and salinity data was collected along the cruise track with two autonomous measurement systems, called self-cleaning monitoring boxes (SMBs). Usually, the SMBs are changed after ~12 hours. While temperature is taken at the water inlet in about 4 m depth, salinity is estimated within the SMB from conductivity and interior temperature. No temperature and salinity calibration were performed. For details to all processing steps see Data Processing Report.

Salinity Offset SMB_A = -0.027799Not enough reliable sample data were available for SMB_B.
