The complementary value of XBT and Argo observations to monitor ocean boundary currents and meridional heat and volume transports: A case study in the Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This work assesses the value of expendable bathythermograph (XBT) and Argo profiling float observations to monitor the Atlantic Ocean boundary current systems (BCS), meridional overturning circulation (MOC), and meridional ...
How Well Can We Correct Systematic Errors in Historical XBT Data?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractBiases have been identified in historical expendable bathythermograph (XBT) datasets, which are one of the major sources of uncertainty in the ocean subsurface database. More than 10 correction schemes were proposed; ...
XBT Science: Assessment of Instrumental Biases and Errors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: xpendable bathythermograph (XBT) data were the major component of the ocean temperature profile observations from the late 1960s through the early 2000s, and XBTs still continue to provide critical data to monitor surface ...
