The data in this accession was collected using seventeen different ships during twenty four different cruises between July 16, 1971 and April 30, 1990. The real time data of water temperature at varying depth bathythermograph (XBT) was recorded in stripcharts by the US Navy. One box analog XBT'S and radio log sheets was submitted by Mr. Paul Stevens of Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center, Monterey, CA to NODC. The XBT data from these stripcharts have been digitized and is present in the current NODC data storage system in C116 file format.
