AX20

This transect was implemented in 1995 in the Frequently Repeated mode, in which XBTs are ideally deployed every 100-150 km. In 2012, this transect has been updated to the High Density mode, in which XBTs are deployed approximately every 30 km. The main objective of this transect is to complement the transect AX08 and to support the NASA SPURS project. For more information about the operation of this transect click here.

Temperature Space-Time Diagrams from AX20 XBT Profiles

The diagrams below show the temporal and spatial distribution of temperature along AX20 at selected depths.

Display temperature at:

10m 100m 300m 600m

Display temperature residuals* at:

10m (residuals) 100m (residuals) 300m (residuals) 600m (residuals)

^*residuals are obtained by substracting the seasonal cycle
