Day boundary
The time boundary of the beginning and end of a day for marine hydrological and marine meteorological observations. Note: The tide, wave, surface sea temperature, surface sea salinity and sea ice in the marine hydrological items within the jurisdiction of the People's Republic of China are based on 24:00 Beijing time (excluding 24:00), and the sunrise is the day boundary for sea luminescence; the marine meteorological items are based on 20:00 Beijing time (including 20:00). The marine hydrological and meteorological observations outside the sea areas under the jurisdiction of the People's Republic of China are based on the local time zone. Time calibration is to calibrate the observation system clock with the standard time. Travel time error is the difference between the observation system clock and the standard time after the observation is completed. Observation time is the observation time determined according to the observation requirements. Supplementary measurement is the activity of measuring within the specified time after the observation time when a certain item or element cannot be observed or the observation fails due to some reason.
