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. The mid and late 20th century saw extensive oceanographic
research by DFS and Cefas. The resulting data were stored in an Oceanographic
Archive which managed data from a number of sensor systems. These included a
CTD system deployed for traditional oceanographic water column profiling. The
CTD data have been transferred to the Cefas Data Hub as parameters. The
original source files contain water column profile data on temperature,
salinity, suspended load and fluoresence derived chlorophyll. This metadata
record covers UK Continental Shelf and temperature only.
