WATER TEMPERATURE and other data from USS STEPHEN W. GROVES in the Caribbean Sea from 1994-02-05 to 1994-02-19 (NCEI Accession 9400041)

The data in this accession were collected in Caribbean Sea from USS STEPHEN W. GROVES between February 5, 1994 and February 19, 1994. The real time data of water temperature at varying depth bathythermograph (XBT) was recorded in stripcharts by the US Navy. Radio logs are forms that contain time, weather latitude/longitude, vessel id, ship id, etc. These are radioed every two hours to some military center. One line per strip chart. Some strip charts have time /date /ship id /latitude /longitude annotated on the strip chart. Eleven stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC.

本次存档的数据集采集于1994年2月5日至1994年2月19日期间，采集区域为加勒比海，作业平台为美国海军"斯蒂芬·W·格罗夫斯号"（USS STEPHEN W. GROVES）。美国海军通过纸带记录仪（stripchart）记录了由可抛弃式海深温仪（expendable bathythermograph，XBT）采集的不同深度海水温度实时数据。无线电日志为包含时间、气象参数、经纬度、舰艇标识、船舶编号等信息的表单，此类日志每两小时通过无线电链路传输至指定军事指挥中心，且每张纸带记录仪的输出纸带仅对应一条数据行。部分纸带记录仪的输出纸带上标注有时间、日期、船舶编号、经纬度等辅助信息。本次共向美国国家海洋与数据中心（NODC）提交了11份纸带记录数据及无线电日志。
