Upper Ocean Thermal Data, Indian Ocean Line IX22+ Pacific Ocean Line PX11 (Shark Bay-Japan), 1986-current

This dataset contains temperature data from the TOGA/WOCE transect IX22/PX11. The transect runs between NW Australia, along the east coast of the Philippines towards Japan. Data have been collected since August 1986 and are ongoing. The transect is repeated approximately 8 times a year. The data are obtained from XBTs (expendable bathythermographs) deployed via the Ship-of-Opportunity Program (SOOP) of the IOC/WMO Integrated Global Ocean Services System (IGOSS), 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).

本数据集包含热带海洋和全球大气计划/世界海洋环流实验（TOGA/WOCE）断面IX22/PX11的温度观测数据。该断面起自澳大利亚西北部，沿菲律宾东海岸向日本延伸。数据自1986年8月起开始采集，至今仍在持续。该断面每年约重复观测8次。数据由隶属于国际海洋学委员会/世界气象组织（IOC/WMO）综合全球海洋服务系统（IGOSS）的船舶自愿观测计划（SOOP）投放的抛弃式温深计（XBT，expendable bathythermographs）获取，现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（CSIRO）海洋研究部与气象局研究中心（BMRC）的合作项目。
