Review of XBT Transect Implementation

The table below provides information on the institutions participating in one or more aspects of the implementation of the XBT transects as agreed at SOT-V. The mode of deployment (frequently repeated or high density) as well as the target (expected as 18 times/year for FR and 4 times/year for HD) is also indicated for 2010. OceanObs09 recommended transects are shaded in green, while non-recommended transects are shaded in yellow.
