Temperature profile and water depth data collected from KING using BT and XBT casts in the North Pacific Ocean from 1980-10-24 to 1990-04-26 (NCEI Accession 9000122)

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 data in this accession was collected from over thirty different ships between October 24, 1980 and April 26, 1990 representing fifty five different cruises. The real time data of water temperature at varying depth bathythermograph (XBT) was recorded in stripcharts by the US Navy. These stripcharts and log sheets were submitted to NODC by Mr. Paul Stevens of Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center (FNOC), Monterey CA. The XBT data from these stripcharts have been digitized and is present in the current NODC data storage system in C116 file format.
