4.  Real-time  data  distribution

•  In  order  to  meet  the  requirement  for  more  real-time  T/S  profiles,  it  has  been  common
practice  at  BSH  since  the  early  90s  to  convert  the  CTD  bottle  readings  to  TESAC  coded
bulletins  which  are  e-mailed  from  the  ship  to  BSH  where  they  are  inserted  immediately  onto
GTS.
•  Since  1992,  temperature  data  from  stations  of  the  BSH's  automated  stationary  "Marine
Environmental  Monitoring  Network  in  the  North  and  Baltic  Seas"  (Holzkamm,  1988)  have
been  inserted  increasingly  onto  GTS  as  BATHY  coded  messages.  This  network  is  under
development.  A  new  station  (’’Nordseeboje  III”)  will  be  launched  in  2003.  Sea  water
parameters  presently  measured  at  2  -  5  depth  levels  are  temperature,  salinity,  oxygen,
radioactivity,  and  nutrients.  A  complete  overview  of  all  MARNET  stations  is  listed  below  and
shown  in  Fig.  22.  Further  details  are  available  under  www.bsh.de.
