Title: Temperature profile data from BATHYTHERMOGRAPH (XBT) from LEXA MAERSK and other platforms in the eastern Pacific Ocean and southern Atlantic Ocean: 19880526 to 19890911 (NODC Accession 9000078)
Abstract: The water depth and temperature data was collected from ships such as
Lexa Maersk and 14 other ships. The data was collected from Eastern
Pacific Ocean and Southern Atlantic Ocean as part of Gulf of Mexico
NOAA/NMFS Ship of Opportunity (SOOP) project. The data was collected by
Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), La Jolla, CA from May 26,
1988 to September 11, 1989. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data
with 2,254 observations was submitted in a diskette. The data has been
converted and is now available on line in C116 file format of NODC.
