Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Water temperature from XBT taken from the research vessel Italica in the Southern Ocean and Southwest Pacific Ocean from 2003-12-24 to 2003-12-28 (NCEI Accession 0173328)

Preview graphic

Vertical temperature profiles were collected from december 24th 2003 to December 28th 2003 from the research vessel Italica during an oceanographic cruise between New Zealand and the Ross Sea in the framework of the Climatic Long Term Interaction for the Mass-balance in Antarctica (CLIMA) project of the Italian National Antarctic Research Programme (PNRA) using Sippican T7 Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT). Used probes have a vertical resolution of 65 cm and a maximum nominal depth of 760 m. XBT launches have been interrupted in case of severe sea and weather conditions. This implies the presence of gaps in the sampling. The spatial resolutions of the sampling are 20 nm and 10 nm in the northern and in the southern part of the transect respectively. All temperature profiles are quality controlled for consistency between adjacent profiles and through spike editing. Data are provided in TXT format.
