Water depth and temperature data from YANKEE CLIPPER and OLEANDER in the NW Atlantic from 1992-01-11 to 1992-12-20 (NCEI Accession 9300034)

The water depth and temperature data were collected in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) from ships OLEANDER and YANKEE CLIPPER between January 11, 1992 and December 20, 1992 as part of Ship Of Opportunity Programme (SOOP). Twenty seven SOOP XBT sections containing originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data were submitted by Mr. Glenn Strout, National Marine Fisheries Service, Narragansett, RI. The data have been converted and are now available on line in C116 (XBT) file format of NODC.

The C116/C118 format contains 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. Unlike the MBT Data File, in which temperature values were recorded at uniform 5 m intervals, 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. Prior to July 1994, XBT data were routinely processed to one of these standard types. XBT data are now processed and loaded directly in to the NODC Ocean Profile Data Base (OPDB). Historic data from these two data types were loaded into the OPDB.
