    "description": "Temperature profiles were collected from XBT casts from the MELVILLE from 14 January 1977 to 10 February 1977. Data were collected by the Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO) as part of International Decade of Ocean Exploration \/ International Ocean Studies \/ First Dynamic Response and Kinematics Experiment in the Drake Passage (IDOE\/ISOS\/FDRAKE). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Universal Bathythermograph Output (UBT) format.\n\nThe UBT 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 records are comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. The XBT data files contain 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.\nStandard XBTs can obtain profiles to depths of 450 m or 760 m. Special instruments permitted measurements to 1830 m.",
