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. Ferryboxes are packages of instruments that are usually placed on board commercial ships such as ferries to monitor temperature, salinity and other water properties. This data series is from 2009-2013 from the cruises of the RV Cefas Endeavour. The RV Cefas Endeavour was commissioned in 2003 and fitted with a FerryBox system in 2009. Unlike most FerryBox systems (see http://www.ferrybox.org_ and http://noc.ac.uk/ocean–watch/shallow–coastal–seas/ferrybox_), RV Cefas Endeavour runs a combination of regular (usually annual) monitoring cruises in UK Shelf waters (with a focus on ICES Mandated Surveys for fisheries assessments) and bespoke research cruises. This provides a widespread coverage with some repeat components in time and space.
