Water temperature taken by XBT from the research vessel Laura Bassi in the Southern Ocean (> 60 degrees South) and Southwest Pacific Ocean (limit-147 E to 140 W) from 2024-01-07 to 2024-01-12 (NCEI Accession 0297166)

Vertical temperature profiles were collected from January 7th 2024 to January 12th 2024 from the research vessel Laura Bassi during an oceanographic cruise between New Zealand and the Ross Sea in the framework of the Marine Observatory in the Ross Sea (MORSea) project of the Italian National Antarctic Research Programme (PNRA). Sippican T7 Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) probes with a vertical resolution of 65 cm and a maximum nominal depth of 760 m were used. The mean spatial resolutions ranges between 15 nm and 20 nm, according to the specific part of the cruise. XBT launches might have been interrupted in case of severe sea and weather conditions. This implies the possible presence of gaps in the sampling. All temperature profiles are quality controlled for consistency between adjacent profiles and through spike editing. Data are provided in TXT format.
