Bathythermograph (XBT) data from AXEL JOHNSON, HIRA MARU, and others in the Alboran Sea, Arabian Sea, and others from 1980-02-16 to 1987-04-01 (NCEI Accession 8900061)
This dataset includes bathythermograph (XBT) data from AXEL JOHNSON, HIRA MARU, KASHU MARU, KOREAN FIR, PACBARON, PACIFIC ARROW, PRESIDENT MCKINLEY, TRIPPE, USS BELKNAP, USS BIDDLE, USS CARR, USS De Wert, USS E. MONTGOMERY, USS FLATLEY, USS FORRESTAL, USS HALYBURTON, USS HORNE, USS IOWA, USS LEFTWICH, USS Long Beach, USS O'Brien, USS Robert G. Bradley, USS SAMPLE, USS SAMPSON, USS SAMUEL E. MORISON, USS SEMMES, USS Stephen W. Groves, USS T. J. GARY, USS VINCENNES, and USS William V. Pratt in the Alboran Sea, Arabian Sea, Bering Sea, Caribbean Sea, East China Sea, Gulf of Aden, Gulf of Oman, Japan Sea, Mediterranean Sea, North Atlantic Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, Philippine Sea, Red Sea, and South China Sea from 1980-02-16 to 1987-04-01.
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.
