Real-Time XBT data assembled by US NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) for the Global Temperature-Salinity Profile Program (GTSPP) and submitted 2015-01-05 - 2015-01-11 (NODC Accession 0125174)

These data represent data collected from the Shipboard Environmental (data) Acquisition System (SEAS), a program developed by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to provide accurate meteorological and oceanographic data in real time from ships at sea through the use of satellite data transmission techniques. The system transmits data through either the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) or the International Maritime Satellite Organization (INMARSAT C) satellites to NOAA for use in weather, climatological and ocean models. NOAA is actively participating in an international effort to increase the number of subsurface temperature observations in support of global oceanographic and climate studies. NOAA's Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) program, SEAS, currently supports about 80 Voluntary Observing Ships (VOS). SEAS XBT data are archived by the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) on a weekly basis.本数据集的数据源自船载环境（数据）采集系统（Shipboard Environmental (data) Acquisition System，SEAS）——该项目由美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration，NOAA）开发，旨在通过卫星数据传输技术，实时获取海上船舶的精准气象与海洋水文数据。该系统通过地球静止业务环境卫星（Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite，GOES）或国际海事卫星组织C系统卫星（International Maritime Satellite Organization C，INMARSAT C）将数据回传至NOAA，供气象、气候与海洋模型研发使用。NOAA正积极参与一项国际合作计划，以增加海洋次表层温度观测数据的规模，为全球海洋学与气候研究提供支撑。NOAA旗下的抛弃式温深计（Expendable Bathythermograph，XBT）项目SEAS目前为约80艘志愿观测船（Voluntary Observing Ships，VOS）提供服务支持。SEAS XBT数据由国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center，NODC）按周进行归档存储。
