Bathythermograph (XBT) data from ALCALA GALIANO, AMERICAN EXPLORER, and others in the Alboran Sea, Arabian Sea, and others from 1974-09-17 to 1979-02-01 (NCEI Accession 8300079)
This dataset includes bathythermograph (XBT) data from ALCALA GALIANO, AMERICAN EXPLORER, CATALUNA, CHERYL MARIE, CORNUCOPIA, FURMAN, GLOMAR CHALLENGER, JINITA, KING, KOREAN FIR, KOREAN PRIDE, MARSHFIELD, MAUMEE, PACBARON, PACDUCHESS, PACMERCHANT, PACSTAR, THREE JACKS, USCGC NORTHWIND, USS BROOKE, USS Decatur, USS Higbee, USS JOUETT, USS King, USS LEAHY, USS MOINESTER, USS MOOSBRUGGER, USS Mahan, USS Radford, and USS SOUTH CAROLINA in the Alboran Sea, Arabian Sea, Baltic Sea, Bay of Bengal, Bering Sea, Caribbean Sea, East China Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Japan Sea, Laccadive Sea, Mediterranean Sea, North Atlantic Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, North Sea, Norwegian Sea, Philippine Sea, Sea of Okhotsk, Skagerrak, South Atlantic Ocean, and South China Sea from 1974-09-17 to 1979-02-01.
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.
