Upper Ocean Thermal Data, Pacific Ocean Line PX33/IX30 (Hobart-Macquarie Island), 1992-current

This dataset contains temperature data from the TOGA/WOCE transect PX33 (=IX30) across the Southern Ocean, between Hobart and Macquarie Island. Data have been collected since December 1992 and are ongoing. The transect is repeated irregularly. The data are obtained from XBTs (expendable bathythermographs) deployed via the research/supply vessels of the Australian Antarctic program, and are now 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).

本数据集收录了横跨南大洋、连接霍巴特与麦夸里岛的TOGA/WOCE断面PX33（即IX30）的温度实测数据。数据自1992年12月起启动采集，至今仍在持续开展。该断面的观测以不规则频次重复进行。数据由澳大利亚南极项目的科研/补给船投放的XBT（抛弃式温深计，expendable bathythermographs）获取，现由澳大利亚海洋观测系统联合设施（Joint Australian Facility for Ocean Observing Systems，JAFOOS）管理。该设施是澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation，CSIRO）海洋研究部与澳大利亚气象局研究中心（Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre，BMRC）的合作共建项目。
