Bathythermograph (XBT), high-resolution CTD/STD, selected depth bathythermograph (SBT) data from BOMBARD, CAPE PILLAR, and others in the Andaman Sea or Burma Sea, Arabian Sea, and others from 1907-12-05 to 1990-09-28 (NCEI Accession 9300046)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2023-02-15T00:00:00.000+00:00
The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and Bathythermograph data were collected from 34 Ships used by Australian Oceanographic Data Center. The data was collected over a period spanning from December 1907 to September 1990. Data was submitted by Andrew L. Walsh of New South Wales, Australia in one cassette of autochart XBT, RV FRANKLIN XBT and CTD data. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution, C116-Bathythermograph-XBT and C125-Bathythermograph file formats of NODC.
