- Abstract:
- Main purpose of this work is the comparison between XBT (eXpendable BathyThermograph) temperature profiles recorded in the Tyrrhenian Sea during the SOOP (Ship Of Opportunity Programme) activity with commercial ships (since September 1999) and Argo profiles (since May 2004). In particular, analysis was focused on the Genoa-Palermo transect, historically managed by ENEA S. Teresa Research Centre. XBT temperature profiles were matched with Argo quasi-collocated in space (and quasi-simultaneous in time) profiles, in order to assess the reliability of XBT temperature measurements. Space-time matching conditions were chosen to be as strict as possible.
