Temperature profile and water depth data collected from KIDD using BT and XBT casts in the North/South Pacific Ocean from 1977-08-06 to 1990-04-30 (NCEI Accession 9000141)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 29, 2026 at 10:34 PM | Dataset Last Updated: February 14, 2023 at 12:00 AM
The water depth and temperature data was collected from thirty three different ships used for 44 cruises. The data was collected between August 6, 1987 to April 30, 1990 by Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center, Monterey CA. The originator's analog bathythermograph (XBT) data was submitted in a box by Mr. Paul Stevens. The data has been converted and is now available on line in C116 file format of NODC.
