HOLT, CHANDLER, VIRGINIA, and USS O'BRIEN between February 7, 1992 and March 1, 1992. 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. Stripcharts and radio logs from 5 cruises and 209 traces were submitted by Mr. Paul Stevens to NODC. The XBT data from these stripcharts have been digitized and are present in the current NODC data storage system in C116 file format.
