This dataset contains temperature data obtained from XBTs (expendable bathythermographs) deployed by vessels during different cruises between Cape of Good Hope and Mauritius.

Expendable Bathythermographs (XBTs) have been used for many years by oceanographers to measure the temperature of the upper ocean. These instruments are simple devices which are designed to be deployed from moving vessels, enabling broad scale coverage of the world's oceans.
