The water depth and temperature data was collected from ships such as Lexa Maersk and 14 other ships. The data was collected from Eastern Pacific Ocean and Southern Atlantic Ocean as part of Gulf of Mexico NOAA/NMFS Ship of Opportunity (SOOP) project. The data was collected by Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), La Jolla, CA from May 26, 1988 to September 11, 1989. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data with 2,254 observations was submitted in a diskette. The data has been converted and is now available on line in C116 file format of NODC.
