Bathythermograph (XBT) data from HMAS Adelaide, HMAS Derwent, and others in the Bismarck Sea, Coral Sea, and others from 1974-09-10 to 1982-07-21 (NCEI Accession 8400217)
This dataset includes bathythermograph (XBT) data from HMAS Adelaide, HMAS Derwent, HMAS Diamantina, HMAS Flinders, HMAS Hobart, HMAS Kimbla, HMAS Moresby, HMAS Parramatta, HMAS Perth, HMAS Stuart, HMAS Swan, HMAS Torrens, HMAS Vampire, HMAS Yarra, HMNZS Canterbury, KYOSEI-MARU, OTAGO, and USS BARBEY in the Bismarck Sea, Coral Sea, East China Sea, Great Australian Bight, Indian Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, Philippine Sea, Solomon Sea, South China Sea, South Pacific Ocean, Southern Ocean, and Tasman Sea from 1974-09-10 to 1982-07-21.
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.
