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).

This dataset contains Water temperature, salinity, currents, and others taken by CTD, XCTD, and ADCP from the research vessel Kaiyo Maru in the North Pacific. This dataset is U.S. State Department MSR U2020-019 as part of the World Data Services for Geophysics and Oceanography. Data are in ASCII formats.

Physical parameters (water temperature, salinity, and sound speed) were measured as high-resolution profiles at select locations and times using CTD and XBT instruments on R/V Falkor geophysical mapping cruises FK140307 and FK140502 during 2014-03-07 to 2014-04-11 and 2014-05-02 to 2014-06-06, respectively. The CTD was a Sea-Bird Electronics 911plus/917plus to a maximum depth of 1000 m and the XBTs were Sippican, Inc. Deep Blue Expendable Profiling Systems to a maximum depth of 760 m. The CTD data are available in the Sea-Bird "cnv" text files and the XBT in NetCDF (COARDS/WOCE).

Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Bathythermograph XBT Selected Depths (SBT) (C125) format. The UBT (C125) 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 records are comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. Depths are selected by the originator - usually at standard horizons or some fixed interval. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles to depths of either 450 or 760 m. Special instruments permitted measurements to be obtained to 1830 m.

Salinity and temperature profile data were collected using XBT, CTD and XCTD casts from R/V MIRAI in the North/South Pacific Ocean and other Sea areas from 14 February 2001 to 18 December 2001. Data were submitted by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC).

Temperature profile, nutrients, and other data were collected using XCTD and CTD casts from KOFU MARU and other platforms in the North Pacific Ocean from 01 January 2002 to 31 December 2002. Data were collected and submitted by Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).

This dataset contains water temperature, bottom topography, currents, marine gravity, and sub bottom profiles taken from R/V Kaimei in the North Pacific. Based on the detail seafloor observation by remotely operative vehicles (KM-ROV and BMS), we observed the distribution of deep-sea hydrothermal activities and microbial and macrofaunal communities with the seafloor topography, obtained various types of rocks, sediments, hydrothermal deposits and waters, and animals. Most of the data and samples are still under investigation in onshore laboratories, but some of the data and samples were analyzed onboard and then interpreted and summarized as scientific articles. This cruise is U.S. State Department MSR U2022-047 as part of the World Data Service for Geophysics. Data are in text and instrument specific formats.

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.
