Bathythermograph (XBT) data from KING, PROVIDENCE GETTY, and others in the Bay of Bengal, Caribbean Sea, and others from 1980-08-01 to 1991-07-30 (NCEI Accession 9100193)
The data in this accession were collected in 26 cruises conducted using multiple ships over a decade between August 1980 to July 1991. The real time data of water temperature at varying depth bathythermograph (XBT) was recorded in stripcharts by the US Navy. One box of analog stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC by Mr. Paul Stevens of Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center, Monterey CA. The XBT data from these stripcharts have been digitized and are present in the current NODC data storage system in C116 file format.
