Description | |
Summary | Archiving and dissemination of low-resolution temperature and salinity vertical profiles from XBT, XCTD and Lagrangian drifters. Profiles were collected during collaborative programmes in addition to other measurements. The profiles are combined with other measures to form an integrated database. A more comprehensive global database exists within the framework of international collaboration for the TOGA, WOCE, CLIVAR, CORIOLIS and ARGO programmes. |
