    • Water temperature taken by XBT from the research vessel Italica in the Southern Ocean (> 60 degrees South) and Southwest Pacific Ocean (limit-147 E to 140 W) from 2013-12-30 to 2014-02-18 (NCEI Accession 0287161)

    Metadata Updated: September 2, 2025

    Vertical temperature profiles were collected from December 30th 2013 to February 18th 2014 from the research vessel Italica during an oceanographic cruise between New Zealand and the Ross Sea in the framework of the Marine Observatory of the Ross Sea (MORSea) project of the Italian National Antarctic Research Programme (PNRA). Sippican T7 Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) probes with a vertical resolution of 65 cm and a maximum nominal depth of 760 m were used. The mean spatial resolutions ranges between 15 nm and 20 nm, according to the specific part of the cruise. XBT launches might have been interrupted in case of severe sea and weather conditions. This implies the possible presence of gaps in the sampling. All temperature profiles are quality controlled for consistency between adjacent profiles and through spike editing. Data are provided in TXT format.
