The water depth and temperature data were collected in SW Atlantic (limit-20 W) as part of World Ocean Circulation Experiment cruise A23 from ship JAMES CLARK ROSS between March 23, 1995 and May 5, 1995. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data were submitted by Dr. Karen J. Heywood, School of Environmental Science, University of East Anglia; Norwich, UK.

The water depth and temperature data was collected as part of Global Temperature- Salinity Pilot Project (GTSPP) from ship TORRENS by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization and Australian Oceanographic Data Center, Potts point, New South Wales, Australia. The data was collected from June 19, 1991 to October 3, 1991. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data file was submitted by Mr. Andrew L. Walsh in GTSPP format via FTP.

Temperature profile and water depth data were collected using BT and XBT casts from the USS ROBERT G. BRADLEY and HMAS MORESBY in the Mediterranean Sea. Data were collected from 16 March 1985 to 24 June 1987 by the US Navy; Ships Of Opportunity (SOOP) and Australian Navy. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Bathythermograph (XBT) (C116) format. The C116/C118 format contains 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. Unlike the MBT Data File, in which temperature values were recorded at uniform 5 m intervals, 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. Prior to July 1994, XBT data were routinely processed to one of these standard types. XBT data are now processed and loaded directly in to the NODC Ocean Profile Data Base (OPDB). Historic data from these two data types were loaded into the OPDB.

This dataset contains cruise reports and XBT data from the R/V KAIREI, cruise KR16-14, in the Southern Mariana Forearc. This dataset is U.S. State Department MSR U2016-009 as part of the World Data Services for Geophysics and Oceanography. Cruise reports are in PDF. Cruise data are available from the JAMSTEC DARWIN portal (see the Documentation).

The water depth and temperature data was collected in Coral Sea, Indian Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, and Tasman Sea from multiple Australian and New Zealand ships by the Australian Oceanographic Data Center. The data was collected from September 1984 to January 1993. Originator's 1522 analog bathythermograph (XBT) traces were submitted by Mr. Andrew L. Walsh. The data has been converted and is now available on line in C116 file format of NODC.

The water depth and temperature data were collected in north and south Atlantic as part of World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) from four different ships between August 14, 1986 and December 4, 1986. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data tape containing profiles were submitted by Dr. Reiner Onken, University of Kiel, Germany. The data have been converted and are now available on line in C125 Bathythermograph-XBT-Selected Depths file format of NODC.

A set of eight moorings were set up across the Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone to measure the intermediate and deep water variability for a two-year period, from a depth of 500 meters to the ocean floor. The moorings held a total of three McLane Moored Profilers (MMPs), 10 Nortek AquaDopp current meters, 18 Aanderaa RCM11 current meters, and 36 SBE MicroCATs, deployed from 18-20 August 2010 through 28-30 June 2012. This yielded a nearly two-year record of velocity, temperature, conductivity, pressure, and salinity across the interface between the generally eastward flowing Labrador Sea Water carried underneath the North Atlantic Current and the westward flowing deep Iceland-Scotland Overflow Water. Data files provided in netcdf format.

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and current velocity from multi-year mooring placed in the Getz-Dotson trough in the Amundsen Sea, on the West Antarctic continental shelf during 2010-2016. The mooring was placed in the same position between 2010 and 2020 (turning the mooring over every 1 or 2 years). There is a gap between 2016 - 2018, when the mooring had gone missing. Temperature and salinity was recorded all years on at least 5 points in the water column. Velocity was recorded most years. Data are in text format.
