WATER TEMPERATURE and other data from OLEANDER and YANKEE CLIPPER in the NW Atlantic from 1991-01-05 to 1991-12-11 (NCEI Accession 9200018)

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

The water depth and temperature data was collected in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) from ships OLEANDER and YANKEE CLIPPER as part of Ship Of Opportunity Programme (SOOP).

Description

The data was collected from January 5, 1991 to December 11, 1991. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data was submitted in a tape by Robert Benway, National Marine Fisheries Service, Narragansett, RI .

The data has been converted and is now available on line in C116 file format of NODC. The data type C116 contained 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. 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.
