Ocean Survey Flight Path

Caption

Ocean survey flight path and instrument deployment points over shaded ocean heat content (OHC) that was calculated from survey data. High areas of OHC indicate warm, deep water. Vectors indicate observed surface currents. Black line indicates flight path. Black circles indicate Airborne eXpendable BathyThermographs  (AXBT). Names of specific instruments are indicated as follows: CP for Airborne eXpendable Current Profilers (AXCP), CTD for Aircraft eXpendable Current-Temperature-Depth (AXCTD) profilers, and D for dropwindsondes (lower atmospheric profilers). Two names and symbols indicate two instruments were dropped at that same location.
