  <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. Near surface temperature and salinity samples have been 
collected by ferries, the most recent, the Stena Partner, along 52&#xB0;N between 
Harwich (formerly Felixstowe) and Rotterdam, from August 1970 onwards. 
Throughout the year, at weekly intervals, temperature data were recorded and 
water samples taken at 9 standard station positions across the Southern Bight 
of the North Sea. These were sent back to Cefas to be analysed for salinity 
and nutrients.</dc:description>
