“Oceangraphic data are like infants. Unless care is taken, it is susceptible to injuries(errors).
However, unlike infants data are immortal.
Once it is collected, it remains as a source of information for ever.” …Thadathil

Why XBT Data susceptible to errors?
No depth sensor

History…….
Based on XBT-CTD Experiments ( simultaneous Observations) it is reported in a number of studies that Manufacture’s fall rate equation underestimate XBT depth, causing XBT depth error.
Subsequently, IOC task team proposed a ‘new depth equation’ for correcting the XBT depth error ( Hanawa et. al. 1995).
Since the new depth equation was developed based on XBT-CTD data sets mainly from Pacific, we evaluated the applicability of the new depth equation for XBT data from the Indian Ocean.

a-b Coefficients of the present data set
http://www.nio.org
• Linear trend is visible
• Depth difference w:r:t reference equation does not vary much
![Page 8: XBT Fall Rate Equation A Review Pankajakshan and Gopalkrishna, National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, India.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070609/5a4d1b927f8b9ab0599c1adf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Mean Depth Error for XBT Data of Different Cruises
• Mean error for our cruises falls outside the manufacturer’s stipulated error bar (2 percent of the depth).
• Coefficients supplied by the manufacturer are not adequate.
![Page 9: XBT Fall Rate Equation A Review Pankajakshan and Gopalkrishna, National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, India.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070609/5a4d1b927f8b9ab0599c1adf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The mean depth error varied between -2 to -27m.
a & b coefficients of our data do not differ much from Hanawa et al.
Hanwa et al fall rate equation is suitable for the Indian Ocean.

Applicability of new depth equation for correcting fall rate in Antarctic Waters???????

Temperature - Viscosity Relation
• Inversely proportional
• Decrease of temperature increases viscosity
• Increase of viscosity retards probe free fall velocity

Mean Depth Error for XBT data from Antarctic region
http://www.nio.org
Mean depth error is positive.
Depth error is in agreement with theoretical value.
Probe descends at a slower rate than expected.

Conclusion
Existing correction scheme is valid only for the tropical and sub-tropical regions where the depth error is negative.
It is reasonable not to correct XBT profiles from the extreme climatic regions.
More experimental studies are essential to further substantiate this result.
