| Zusammenfassung |
| EXpendable BathyThermograph (XBT) temperature profiles collected in the framework of the
Mediterranean Forecasting System – Toward Environmental Prediction (MFS-TEP) project have
been compared with CTD measurements. New procedures for the quality control of recorded values
have been developed and checked.
Some sources of possible uncertainties and errors, such as the response time of the apparatus (XBT
probe, thermistor and readout chain), or the influence of initial conditions are also analysed.
To deal with the high homogeneity of Mediterranean waters, a new technique to compute the fall
rate coefficients, that give a better reproduction of the depth of thermal structures, has been
proposed, and new customized coefficients have been calculated. After the application of a
temperature correction, the overall uncertainties in depth and in temperature measurements have
been estimated. |
