    • XBT data from J.M. GILLISS from 1972-06-04 to 1972-06-16 (NCEI Accession 7300610)

    Metadata Updated: March 3, 2025

    This dataset contains XBT data collected from the J.M. GILLIS in the Gulf of Mexico from 1972-06-04 to 1972-06-16 and submitted by Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami. The data has been converted and is now available on line in C116 file format of NODC.

    The data type C116 contained temperature-depth profile data obtained using expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Cruise information, position, date and time were reported for each observation. The data record was comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. The XBT data files contained temperature values at non-uniform depths. These depths were recorded at the minimum number of points ("inflection points") required to accurately define the temperature curve. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles to depths of either 450 or 760 m. With special instruments, measurements can be obtained to 1830 m.
