# version = June 27, 1995 # Dennis McGillicuddy # XBT Data # Atlantis II cruise 119 leg 5 # # Processing comments Dennis McGillicuddy, Harvard Univ. # It is our experience that the actual drop rate of T-7 XBTs is about # 6 percent faster than accounted for by the Sippican drop rate equation. # We therefore applied a uniform stretch to each profile of 1.065. # Intercomparison of an XBT profile (station 10) with the nearest CTD # station showed similar structure but substantial offset (1.2 degrees)." # A 1.2 degree adjustment (added) has been applied to each XBT. # # xbt_num = originator assigned cast\profile number # date = date reported as YYMMDD # time = time # lat = latitude, negative values denote South, units= decimal degrees # lon = longitude, negative values denote West, units= decimal degrees # depth = water depth, units = meters # temp = water temperature, units decimal degrees Centigrade # nd = no data ========================= xbt_num date time lat lon ------------------------- 1 19890516 1300 42.000 -22.400 2 19890517 0844 45.440 -19.940 3 19890517 0945 45.620 -19.800 4 19890517 1027 45.740 -19.700 5 19890517 1128 45.920 -19.550 6 19890517 1157 46.000 -19.490 7 19890517 1254 46.150 -19.340 8 19890517 1344 46.280 -19.250 9 19890517 1434 46.420 -19.130 10 19890517 nd 46.480 -19.050 11 19890517 1626 46.480 -18.680 12 19890517 1855 46.480 -17.920 13 19890522 0732 46.680 -18.700 14 19890522 0817 46.600 -18.520 15 19890522 0901 46.530 -18.320 16 19890522 0946 46.470 -18.130 17 19890522 1031 46.380 -17.930 18 19890522 1103 46.350 -17.800 20 19890522 1200 46.320 -17.750 21 19890522 1658 46.360 -17.950
