Global Near Real-Time Temperature and Salinity Profile Data from the GTSPP project from 16 July 1978 to 28 December 2001 (NODC Accession 0000627)

Physical, current, meteorological, and other data were collected from XBT casts, buoys, and other instruments from a World-Wide distribution. Data were collected from 16 July 1978 to 28 December 2001. Data were submitted by the Marine Environmental Data Service (MEDS) in support of the Gulf of Mexico NOAA/NMFS Ship of Opportunity (SOOP), the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), and the Global Temperature-Salinity Pilot Project (GTSPP). Physical parameters include profiles of temperature and salinity. Current parameters include current direction and speed. Meteorological data include dry bulb temperature, wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity, and air pressure.本数据集采集了全球分布的投弃式温深仪（Expendable Bathythermograph, XBT）投放测量、浮标及其他仪器获取的物理、海流、气象及其他相关数据。数据采集时段为1978年7月16日至2001年12月28日。数据由海洋环境数据服务中心（Marine Environmental Data Service, MEDS）提交，用于支撑墨西哥湾NOAA/NMFS 机会航船（Ship of Opportunity, SOOP）、世界大洋环流实验（World Ocean Circulation Experiment, WOCE）以及全球温盐试点项目（Global Temperature-Salinity Pilot Project, GTSPP）。其中物理参数包含温度与盐度剖面；海流参数涵盖流向与流速；气象数据则包括干球温度、风速、风向、相对湿度与大气压强。
