Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Water temperature profiles collected from XBTs aboard multiple SOOP ships in the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and adjoining waters as part of the High Density XBT Lines I21, P09, P37, P38, and S37 from 2011-10-12 to 2016-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0162315)

High density eXpendable BathyThermograph (XBT) data from the Ship of Opportunity Program (SOOP) were centralized and quality-controlled by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, High Resolution XBT Network. The ocean transects were along XBT Network routes I21, P09, P37, P38, and S37. The dates of data collection were from 2011-10-12 to 2016-12-31. The XBT data are provided in ASCII text files. Calibration and navigation data were also supplied.
