Water temperature profiles from XBTs aboard multiple platforms in the Atlantic Ocean, North Sea, Norwegian Sea, and Southern Ocean from 2018-11-21 to 2021-10-18 (NCEI Accession 0243428)

Preview graphic

This dataset contains water temperature profiles from XBT casts in the Atlantic Ocean, North Sea, Norwegian Sea, and Southern Ocean from 2018-11-21 to 2021-10-18. These data were collected aboard the Amazonas, Bremen Express, Chicago Express, Norrona, and S.A. Agulhas II as part of the Ship of Opportunity High Density XBT Transects Program during transects AX4, AX7, AX25, AX90, AX97, and AXCS and submitted by Gustavo Goni of AOML.
