Figure 7.2. Spatial distribution ofthe absolute wind strength and direction during cruise 0671013-1. Wind
information is reported on the Beaufort scale (see colour bar) and averaged over 15 min intervals. The
sfick orientation denotes the wind direction.
7.2 Thermosalinograph and Fluororescence & Turbidity
The thermosalinograph (TSG) system aboard RV ATAIR is operated as a throughflow system
with the pure seawater inlet installed in the vessel’s hull at a depth of 4 m. It consists of a
SBE21 Seacat thermosalinograph device delivering near-surface conductivity and internal
temperature measurements that are matched with an additional external temperature sensor
of type SBE38 located near the water inlet. Next to the TSG system, a dual-wavelength sensor
of type WET Labs Environmental Characterization Optics (ECO) is installed delivering near-
surface underway measurements for fluorescence and turbidity. Table 7.1 provides an over-
view on sensor specifications. Data are recorded at time steps of 10 sec. Data recording was
switched off when passing through the Ductch EEZ. Swedish authorities demanded to switch
off logging while transiting through the Swedish territorial waters. Consequently, there are not
