XBT Data

Global Data - XBT data can be obtained in real-time mode through the GTS. Near-real time data can be obtained through the GTSPP site, which is operated by the NOAA National Oceanographic Data Center. Delayed-time, quality controlled data, is also delivered globally by NOAA/NESDIS through its World Ocean Data project.

Transect Data - XBT data along the fixed transects of the global XBT network can be found through the institutions that lead the specific transect operations.
