Water temperature profiles from 20 XBT drops along the track of cruise AT_II-119/5

It is our experience that the actual drop rate of T-7 XBTs is about 6 percent faster than accounted for by the Sippican drop rate equation. We therefore applied a uniform stretch to each profile of 1.065. Intercomparison of an XBT profile (station 10) with the nearest CTD station showed similar stru...

Description
Summary:It is our experience that the actual drop rate of T-7 XBTs is about 6 percent faster than accounted for by the Sippican drop rate equation. We therefore applied a uniform stretch to each profile of 1.065. Intercomparison of an XBT profile (station 10) with the nearest CTD station showed similar structure but substantial offset (1.2 degrees). A 1.2 degree adjustment (added) has been applied to each XBT.
