Abstract :
Thousands of expendable bathy-thermographs (XBTs) are used annually for ocean monitoring. This paper briefly describes the application of a microprocessor-based computer to encode signals directly from the XBTs, in a digital format for dissemination, and to prepare a bathy-message for radio transmission. Reference is also made to the development activity for other sensors to be used as expendable probes.
