Selected depth bathythermograph (SBT) data from ANRO ASIA, ANRO AUSTRALIA, and others in the Arabian Sea, Bismarck Sea, and others from 1985-11-18 to 1987-09-08 (NCEI Accession 8700386)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2023-02-13T00:00:00.000+00:00
This dataset includes selected depth bathythermograph (SBT) data from ANRO ASIA, ANRO AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA STAR, AUSTRALIAN PROGRESS, BOTANY BAY, ENCOUNTER BAY, FLINDERS BAY, NIMOS, and SWAN REFFER in the Arabian Sea, Bismarck Sea, Coral Sea, Indian Ocean, Laccadive Sea, Philippine Sea, Solomon Sea, and South Pacific Ocean from 1985-11-18 to 1987-09-08. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Selected Depth Bathythermograph (SBT) (C125) format. The UBT (C125) 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 records are comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. Depths are selected by the originator - usually at standard horizons or some fixed interval. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles to depths of either 450 or 760 m. Special instruments permitted measurements to be obtained to 1830 m.
