Bathythermograph (XBT aircraft), bathythermograph (XBT) data from AIRCRAFT, NOAA Ship Discoverer, and NOAA Ship Oceanographer in the North Pacific Ocean and South Pacific Ocean from 1981-07-01 to 1989-04-19 (NCEI Accession 9300179)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 07:53 AM | Dataset Last Updated: February 16, 2023 at 12:00 AM
The water depth and temperature data were collected in TOGA Area - Pacific (30 N to 30 S) as part of Equatorial Pacific Ocean Climate Studies from NOAA Ship DISCOVERER and NOAA Ship OCEANOGRAPHER; and AIRCRAFT between July 1, 1981 and April 19, 1989. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT and AXBT) data from Acid Rain Experiments were submitted on a tape by Margie McCarty, Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, Seattle, WA. The data are now available on line in C116 (XBT) and C118 (AXBT) file format of NODC.
