This README file accompanies the shipwind.csv file
This files contains 5 minute reading from the ship's anemometer , meteorological sensors, and thermosalinograph.  The Young vane type anemometer was located on the mast staff on the bow of the ship approximately 15 m above the waterline .  The bow tower structure was located about 5 m behind it.  The air temperature and dew point are measured above the bridge. The values are not highly reliable. SST and salinity are measured with a thermosalinograph at the bow intake approximately 5-m below the water line
