Temperature profiles from XBT casts from the GYRE in the Gulf of Mexico from 1992-05-17 to 1992-06-04 (NCEI Accession 9200232)

The water depth and temperature data were collected in the Gulf of Mexico as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) program from ship GYRE between May 17, 1992, and June 4, 1992. The program was funded by a grant to Dr. DOUGLAS C. BIGGS MMS # 14-35-0001-30501. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data containing 28 profiles were submitted on a diskette by Mr. David J. Voegele, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. The data are temperature-depth profiles 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. The XBT data files contain 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. The data also have been converted and are available in the C116 (XBT) file format.

墨西哥湾水域深度与温度数据作为德克萨斯州机构墨西哥湾生态系统研究计划（TIGER）的一部分，由船只GYRE于1992年5月17日至6月4日收集。该项目由授予道格拉斯·C·比格斯博士（Dr. DOUGLAS C. BIGGS）的MMS # 14-35-0001-30501号补助金资助。原始的温深计（XBT）数据，包含28个剖面，由德克萨斯A&M大学，科莱斯特斯敦（College Station，TX）的David J. Voegele先生提交至磁盘。数据记录了使用一次性温深计（XBT）仪器获得的温度-深度剖面。每次观测均报告了巡航信息、位置、日期和时间。数据记录由温度-深度值对组成。XBT数据文件包含非均匀深度的温度值。这些深度记录在最小数量的点（“拐点”）上，以准确定义温度曲线。数据已转换为C116（XBT）文件格式并可供使用。
