Brief description

Temperature data from the TOGA/WOCE transect PX2 across the Banda Sea (Flores Sea - Torres Strait) has been collected since 1983 and are ongoing. The transect is repeated approximately 12 times a year with profiles obtained approximately every 50-100 Km. The data are obtained from XBTs (expendable bathythermographs) deployed vie marchant vessels, and are managed by the Joint Australian Facility for Ocean Observing Systems (JAFOOS), a collaborative venture between CSIRO Marine Research and the Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre (BMRC).

Lineage

Statement: XBT data is collected from the volunteer observing ships and returned to BOM. We then convert the data into our netcdf format and perform quality control on temperature, rejecting data that shows sign of instrument faults or other anomalies that are not considered 'real'. Any real features of the profile are flagged as well and these flags can be used to study the occurrence of such features (inversions, fine structure, 'steps', etc). The quality control system is based on Matlab and called Mquest.
