WATER TEMPERATURE and other data from USCGC POLAR STAR from 1992-08-11 to 1992-10-06 (NCEI Accession 9200265)

The water depth and temperature data were collected in arctic west from ship POLAR STAR between August 11, 1992 and October 6, 1992. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data were submitted on a diskette by Ms. Diane Foster of US Coast Guard, Groton CT. The data have been converted and are now available on line in C116 (XBT) 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.
