Dataset: IMOS SOOP-XBT Upper Ocean Thermal Data collected in the Southern Ocean


Description

This dataset contains temperature data obtained from XBTs (expendable bathythermographs) deployed by vessels during different cruises in the Southern Ocean.

Expendable Bathythermographs (XBTs) have been used for many years by oceanographers to measure the temperature of the upper ocean. These instruments are simple devices which are designed to be deployed from moving vessels, enabling broad scale coverage of the world's oceans.
