Bathythermograph (XBT) data from FURMAN, GLOMAR CHALLENGER, and others in the Alboran Sea, Bering Sea, and others from 1976-02-08 to 1989-07-27 (NCEI Accession 8900217)
This dataset includes bathythermograph (XBT) data from FURMAN, GLOMAR CHALLENGER, NORWALK, PACBARON, PACBARONESS, PACDUKE, PRESIDENT KENNEDY, SEALIFT PACIFIC, SHOSHONE, USCGC Dallas, USS BAGLEY, USS BIDDLE, USS BLANDY, USS BRONSTEIN, USS BROOKE, USS CONNOLE, USS CONSTELLATION, USS ELLIOT, USS GOLDSBOROUGH, USS GRIDLEY, USS H. E. HOLT, USS Higbee, USS KITTY HAWK, USS KNOX, USS KOELSCH, USS Lawrence, USS MCCANDLESS, USS MISSISSIPPI, USS MOINESTER, USS PAUL, USS SARATOGA, USS SELLERS, USS SOUTH CAROLINA, USS SPRUANCE, USS TATTNALL, and USS Wainwright in the Alboran Sea, Bering Sea, Caribbean Sea, East China Sea, Gulf of Alaska, Gulf of Mexico, Japan Sea, Mediterranean Sea, North Atlantic Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, Philippine Sea, and South China Sea from 1976-02-08 to 1989-07-27.
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.
