Brief description
Temperature data from the TOGA/WOCE transect PX33 between Hobart and Macquarie Island has been collected since december 1992 and are ongoing. The transect is repeated irregularly.\nThe data are obtained from XBTs (expendable bathythermographs) deployed by the French Antarctic resupply vessel L'Astrolabe, and are managed by the French Polar Institute (IPEV) and the Joint Australian Facility for Ocean Observing Systems (JAFOOS), a collaborative venture between CSIRO Marine Research and the Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre (BMRC).Full description
