The XBT Science Team

The XBT Science Team was formed during the First 
Expendable Bathythermograph 
Science 
Workshop (Melbourne Australia, 2011) with the following objectives:

• Have a voice in the community to communicate XBT-related scientific results;
• Gather the XBT community to discuss scientific advances in the use of XBT observations;
• Enhance international scientific collaboration;
• Make recommendations and prioritize transects on the XBT network;
• Make recommendations on XBT data management;
• Create links with other active/recognized scientific and operational panels; and
• Assist in activities carried out by the Ship Of Opportunity Program Implementation Panel;

This website provides: (1) introductory information about XBTs, (2) information about the XBT Science Team members, (3) information about XBT meetings and workshops, (4) a complete list of XBT-related publications, (5) XBT data access, and (6) XBT derived products.
