NODC Standard Format Ocean Temperature Profile (C116) Data from Expendable Bathythermographs (XBT) (1965-1993) (NCEI Accession 9400121)
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
This collection contains temperature, depth, and other data collected using bathythermograph (XBT) casts from numerous platforms in oceans and seas around the world from 1965-07-28 to 1993-06-04.
Description
Data were processed by NODC to the NODC Ocean Temperature Profile (C116) Data from Expendable Bathythermographs (XBT) format. 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.
