4. Real-time data distribution 
• In order to meet the requirement for more real-time T/S profiles, it has been common 
practice at BSH since the early 90s to convert the CTD bottle readings to TESAC coded 
bulletins which are e-mailed from the ship to BSH where they are inserted immediately onto 
GTS. 
• Since 1992, temperature data from stations of the BSH's automated stationary "Marine 
Environmental Monitoring Network in the North and Baltic Seas" (Holzkamm, 1988) have 
been inserted increasingly onto GTS as BATHY coded messages. This network is under 
development. A new station (’’Nordseeboje III”) will be launched in 2003. Sea water 
parameters presently measured at 2 - 5 depth levels are temperature, salinity, oxygen, 
radioactivity, and nutrients. A complete overview of all MARNET stations is listed below and 
shown in Fig. 22. Further details are available under www.bsh.de.
