Release of ships of opportunity XBT data compiled by the Maritime Environment Information Centre at the UKHO. The data represents 5 years (1995 - 2000) of archived SOOP XBT observations. The dataset contains 7214 observations from various vessels (see vessel summary), the data ranges from years 1984 to 2000. Previously to 1995 the data was released annually to the oceanographic community through ICES and US NODC, World Data Centre A.
