The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: |
Water temperature from XBT taken from research vessel Italica in the Southern Oceans (> 60 degrees South) and Southwest Pacific Ocean (limit-147 E to 140 W) from 2012-01-13 to 2012-01-19 (NCEI Accession 0167834) |
| Abstract: |
The temperature profiles along the water column from Expendable Bathytermograph (XBT) originate from an oceanographic cruise between New Zealand and the Ross Sea realized by the research vessel ‘‘Italica’’ during January 2012 in the framework of the Southern Ocean Chokepoints Italian Contribution (SOChIC) project of the Italian National Antarctic Programme (PNRA). Data have been collected using Sippican T7 probes providing temperature profiles with a vertical resolution of 65 cm and a maximum nominal depth of 760 m. Ship speed lower than 15 kn allows the probe to reach about 900 m depth. The transect were completed in 6 days to offer a synoptic picture of the thermal structure of the upper Southern Ocean. A regular 15 nm sampling rate was adopted across the frontal regions of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. Successively, in order to remove expected errors, all temperature profiles have been extensively analyzed through quality control procedures as comparisons between adjacent profiles and spike editing. Data file format is plain text. |
