Selected depth bathythermograph (SBT) data from CAP ANAMUR, ELGAREN, and others in the Coral Sea, North Pacific Ocean, and others from 1987-01-01 to 1987-12-31 (NCEI Accession 8800060)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 29, 2026 at 10:26 PM | Dataset Last Updated: February 13, 2023 at 12:00 AM
This dataset includes selected depth bathythermograph (SBT) data from CAP ANAMUR, ELGAREN, MICRONESIAN COMMERCE, MICRONESIAN INDEPENDENCE, MOANA PACIFIC, and POLYNESIA in the Coral Sea, North Pacific Ocean, Philippine Sea, and South Pacific Ocean from 1987-01-01 to 1987-12-31. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Selected Depth Bathythermograph (SBT) (C125) format. The UBT (C125) 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. Depths are selected by the originator - usually at standard horizons or some fixed interval. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles to depths of either 450 or 760 m. Special instruments permitted measurements to be obtained to 1830 m.
