In the following, and sorted by voyage numbers, the measurements 
are presented in 
1. Tables containing header information and remarks of each XBT 
drop, 
2. track plots of each transect, 
3. profile plots of final temperature data (the profiles beeing 
offset according the tick marks, the temperature at tick 
mark is 6 *C), 
4. and section plots showing the vertical temperature field of 
each transect. 
The different numeration may give raise to some confusion. The 
complete XBT drop number consists of 6 digits as shown in the 
profile plots. The leading 2 digits denote the year of measure 
ment, the next 3 digits give the XBT drop number ranging from 001 
to 999, and the last digit marks the repetition if necessary. In 
the Tables and section plots the leading zero of the XBT drop 
number is omitted while in the track plots additionally the 
repetition digit is omitted.
