Temperature profile data from BATHYTHERMOGRAPH (XBT) from BAINBRIDGE and other platforms in WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTION: 19710726 to 19870611 (NCEI Accession 8600178)
This dataset includes bathythermograph (XBT) data in the Alboran Sea, Andaman Sea or Burma Sea, Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, Bay of Biscay, Bering Sea, Black Sea, Caribbean Sea, East China Sea, English Channel, Gulf of Aden, Gulf of Alaska, Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of Oman, Gulf of Thailand, Indian Ocean, Japan Sea, Laccadive Sea, Mediterranean Sea, North Atlantic Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, North Sea, Norwegian Sea, Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, Philippine Sea, Red Sea, Sea of Okhotsk, Seto Naikai, Skagerrak, South Atlantic Ocean, South China Sea, and South Pacific Ocean from 1971-07-26 to 1987-06-11.
Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Bathythermograph (XBT) (C116) format.
The C116/C118 format contains temperature-depth profile data obtained using expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Cruise information, position, date and time were reported for each observation. The data record was comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. Unlike the MBT Data File, in which temperature values were recorded at uniform 5 m intervals, the XBT data files contained temperature values at non-uniform depths. These depths were recorded at the minimum number of points ("inflection points") required to accurately define the temperature curve. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles to depths of either 450 or 760 m. With special instruments, measurements can be obtained to 1830 m. Prior to July 1994, XBT data were routinely processed to one of these standard types. XBT data are now processed and loaded directly in to the NODC Ocean Profile Data Base (OPDB). Historic data from these two data types were loaded into the OPDB.
