ITP 83 Data Description

The ITP profiler was configured to operate on a fast sampling schedule of 4 one-way profiles between 7 and 760 m depth each day. In the surface package, the GPS receiver was powered hourly to obtain locations hourly, and buoy temperature and battery voltage status were recorded.

The plots to the right are of the final, calibrated, edited data (as opposed to the raw data presented on the active instrument pages).

See the Data Products tab to the left for descriptions of the three levels (I, II, III) of data processing and to access all data.
