The Vessel RV Linnaeus is a platform of the Ships of Opportunity facility.

RV Linnaeus is a small CSIRO research vessel (callsign VHW6005) collecting underway bulk SST from its occasional trips within 200 nm from Hillarys Boat Harbour, WA.

Bulk SST is processed from SBE38 calibrated digital oceanographic thermometer and SBE45 MicroTSG. The depth of water intake is 0.8 m.

The data are quality controlled by the Bureau of Meteorology and provided to the AODN.
