Bathythermograph (XBT) data from ENDEAVOR, NOAA Ship Albatross IV, and others in the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and others from 1982-11-22 to 1983-05-31 (NCEI Accession 8300072)
This dataset includes bathythermograph (XBT) data from ENDEAVOR, NOAA Ship Albatross IV, OCEANUS, USCGC Munro, USCGC Polar Star, USS BADGER, USS Decatur, USS MCCLOY, and USS O. H. PERRY in the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, Bay of Fundy, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Oman, Indian Ocean, North Atlantic Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, Philippine Sea, South Atlantic Ocean, South China Sea, South Pacific Ocean, and Southern Ocean from 1982-11-22 to 1983-05-31.
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.
