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. .. _`http://www.ferrybox.org`: http://www.ferrybox.org/ Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, Lowestoft Laboratory (CEFAS) Cefas Lowestoft Laboratory Pakefield Road Lowestoft Suffolk NR33 0HT UK data.manager@cefas.co.uk originator Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, Lowestoft Laboratory (CEFAS) Cefas Lowestoft Laboratory Pakefield Road Lowestoft Suffolk NR33 0HT UK data.manager@cefas.co.uk custodian Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, Lowestoft Laboratory (CEFAS) Cefas Lowestoft Laboratory Pakefield Road Lowestoft Suffolk NR33 0HT UK data.manager@cefas.co.uk distributor Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, Lowestoft Laboratory (CEFAS) data.manager@cefas.co.uk owner asNeeded Temperature of the water column SeaDataNet P02 parameter discovery vocabulary 2011-03-25 revision Oceanographic geographical features GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-06-01 publication Water column SeaVoX Vertical Co-ordinate Coverages 2010-05-18 revision Marine Environmental Data and Information Network MEDIN metadata record availability 2012-01-11 publication data.gov.uk MEDIN metadata record availability 2012-01-11 publication otherRestrictions noLimitations otherRestrictions `Open Government Licence`_ .. _`open government licence`: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/ English oceans -11.00 8.00 48.00 61.50 2009-01-09 2013-10-08 Delimited Geographic Information System Unknown https://data.cefas.co.uk/view/3523 Cefas Data Portal download The Cefas Data Portal contains metadata records and data sets available to download and connect to in support of our commitment to open science.

Other parameters available from Cefas include sea surface salinity, chlorophyll fluorescence, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, wind speed and direction, air temperature and humidity, & barometric pressure.
