  abstract = {{T}his field test evaluated both the performance of {XBT} systems under field conditions and the capability of the {ARGOS} and {GOES} satellite system to transmit{XBT} data in the {JJXX} format. {R}esults 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 {C}elsius specification for {XBT} probes. {I}n 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. {F}rom these results, it was determined that temperature error due to the {XBT}'s thermistor is small.},
