Dear Melanie,

I send you more xbt data from :
ANT XV/4-Expedition (March-May 1998) - XBTs type T-7 (Sparton),
ANT XVI/2-Expedition (January-March 1999) - XBTs type T-7 (Sippican),
ANT XVIII/3-Expedition (December 2000) - XBTs type T-7 (Sippican).

The zipped tar files:
xbt_antxv4.tar.gz  include 191 xbt data-files,
xbt_antxvi2.tar.gz include 237 xbt data-files,
xbt_antxviii3.tar.gz include 83 xbt data-files.

Each XBT profil starts with a header, which looks like for example:

 23601                                      ! number(236) and cast(01)
   -38 -44.000    13  21.000      ! latitude (deg,minuts),longitude
(deg,minuts)
 14 03 99 07 00                        ! day, month, year, hour, minut
(GMT time)
   4989.000                               ! waterdepth
    756.000                                ! max.depth of XBT-launch
  DEPTH  TEMP                      ! name of variables
 XBT-Data-File ANTXVI/2     ! additional information
 #                                              ! character mark for
every xbt-profil
     1      2.000    19.848            ! XBT data

The position of xbt data is (-) south and (-) west. The depths were
calculated using the old drop rates.
Please contact me if you have problems.

Best regards
Andreas
