Abstract:

An on-board expendable bathythermograph (XBT) measurement was taken in the Northern Gulf of Mexico in September 10, 2016 aboard the R/V Acadiana during a buoy deployment cruise. A Lockheed Martin Sippican MK21 with a hand-held launcher was used to collect temperature profiles for sound speed profile calculation.

Purpose:

XBT data was collected during a buoy deployment cruise in order to calculated sound speed profiles.

Data Parameters and Units:

time (s), resistance (ohm), depth (m), temperature (C), sound speed (m/s), site, date (mm/dd/yy), time (CST), latitude (degree minutes), longitude (degree minutes), serial number

Instruments:
