  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">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`_, 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.
