Bathythermograph (XBT) data from KING, PROVIDENCE GETTY, and others in the Bay of Bengal, Caribbean Sea, and others from 1980-08-01 to 1991-07-30 (NCEI Accession 9100193)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 07:50 AM | Dataset Last Updated: February 14, 2023 at 12:00 AM
The data in this accession were collected in 26 cruises conducted using multiple ships over a decade between August 1980 to July 1991. The real time data of water temperature at varying depth bathythermograph (XBT) was recorded in stripcharts by the US Navy. One box of analog stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC by Mr. Paul Stevens of Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center, Monterey CA. The XBT data from these stripcharts have been digitized and are present in the current NODC data storage system in C116 file format.
