Oceanographic XBT Data Device Location for Joint USGS Cruise 03008 and NOAA RB0303
"The Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) has been used by oceanographers for many years to obtain information on the temperature structure of the ocean to depths of up to 1500 meters. The XBT... is a probe which is dropped from a ship and measures the temperature as it falls through the water. Tw...
