This field test evaluated both the performance of XBT systems under field conditions and the capability of the ARGOS and GOES satellite system to transmitXBT data in the JJXX format. Results show that the mean temperature differences between the CTD and each XBT system over the total XBT profile were greater than the +/- O.15 degrees Celsius specification for XBT probes. In the isothermal portion of the mixed layer where the temperature differences are minimized due to depth, instrument response, and internal waves, the temperature differences between the XBT's and CTD were reduced by an order of magnitude. From these results, it was determined that temperature error due to the XBT's thermistor is small.
