The data in this accession were collected from Australian and New Zealand ships HMAS HOBART, HMAS PERTH, HMNZS SOUTHLAND, HMNZS CANTERBURY, HMNZS WAIKATO, WELLINGTON, FLINDERS and NEWCASTLE between April 8, 1993 and May 10, 1994. The real time data of water temperature at varying depth bathythermograph (XBT) was recorded in stripcharts by the Australian Navy. Radio logs are forms that contain time, weather latitude/longitude, vessel id, ship id, etc. These are radioed every two hours to some military center. One line per strip chart. Some strip charts have time /date /ship id /latitude /longitude annotated on the strip chart. 486 analog stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC by Ms. Edwina Tanner of Australian Oceanographic Data Center, New South Wales, Australia.
