An Algorithm for Classifying Unknown Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) Instruments Based on Existing Metadata.
(2018)
Time-varying biases in expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments have emerged as a key un-
certainty in estimates of historical ocean heat content variability and change. One of the challenges in the
development of ...
International Quality-Controlled Ocean Database (IQuOD) v0.1: The Temperature Uncertainty Specification.
(2021)
Ocean temperature observations are crucial for a host of climate research and forecasting activities, such as climate monitoring, ocean reanalysis and state estimation, seasonal-to-decadal forecasts, and ocean forecasting. ...
Australian XBT Quality Control Cookbook Version 2.1.
(CSIRO, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, 2023)
Expendable Bathythermographs (XBTs) have been used for many years by oceanographers to
measure the temperature of the upper ocean. These instruments are simple devices which are
designed to be deployed from moving vessels, ...
Benchmarking of automatic quality control checks for ocean temperature profiles and recommendations for optimal sets.
(2023)
Millions of in situ ocean temperature profiles have been collected historically using various instrument types with varying sensor accuracy and then assembled into global databases. These are essential to our current ...
