IMOS SOOP-XBT Upper Ocean Thermal Data collected on the line IX22-PX11 (Port Hedland - Japan)

Temperature data from the TOGA/WOCE transect IX22/PX11 from Port Hedland to Japan has been collected since 1983 and are ongoing. The transect is repeated approximately 12 times a year with profiles obtained approximately every 50-100 Km.
The data are obtained from XBTs (expendable bathythermographs) deployed vie marchant vessels, and are managed by the Joint Australian Facility for Ocean Observing Systems (JAFOOS), a collaborative venture between CSIRO Marine Research and the Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre (BMRC).

TOGA/WOCE断面IX22/PX11（从黑德兰港至日本）的温度数据自1983年起开始采集，目前仍在持续进行中。该断面每年重复观测约12次，每隔50-100公里获取一次剖面数据。

数据通过商船部署的投弃式温深仪（XBTs，expendable bathythermographs）获取，由澳大利亚海洋观测系统联合设施（JAFOOS）管理——该设施是澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织海洋研究部门（CSIRO Marine Research）与气象局研究中心（BMRC）的合作项目。
