Seawater temperature records for the UK Shelf - 08 - Ferry Route Monitoring System (Historical)
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. Near surface temperature and salinity samples have been collected by ferries, the most recent, the Stena Partner, along 52°N between Harwich (formerly Felixstowe) and Rotterdam, from August 1970 onwards. Throughout the year, at weekly intervals, temperature data were recorded and water samples taken at 9 standard station positions across the Southern Bight of the North Sea. These were sent back to Cefas to be analysed for salinity and nutrients.
