WATER TEMPERATURE and other data from USS HALSEY, USS SOUTHERLAND and other platforms from 1980-08-01 to 1991-07-30 (NODC Accession 9100193)

The data in this accession were collected in 26 cruises conducted using multiple ships over a decade between August 1980 to July 1991. The real time data of water temperature at varying depth bathythermograph (XBT) was recorded in stripcharts by the US Navy. One box of analog stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC by Mr. Paul Stevens of Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center, Monterey CA. The XBT data from these stripcharts have been digitized and are present in the current NODC data storage system in C116 file format.

本次入库数据集的采集工作由多艘科考船执行共计26次航次，采集周期跨越十年，始于1980年8月，终于1991年7月。美国海军使用带状记录纸记录了投弃式温深计（Expendable Bathythermograph, XBT）采集的不同深度海水温度实时数据。美国加利福尼亚州蒙特雷舰队数值海洋学中心的保罗·史蒂文斯先生，将一盒模拟带状记录纸带与无线电日志提交至国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）。上述带状记录纸所载的XBT数据已完成数字化处理，目前以C116文件格式存储于国家海洋数据中心的数据存储系统内。
