DetailsDescriptionEN3_v2a_NoCWT_WijffelsTable2XBTCorr is based on EN3_v2a. It has had the cold water tapering that is applied to some XBT corrections removed. Then, the corrections to XBT depths from Table 2 of Wijffels et al. (2008) have been applied. Please note that the corrections are only defined between 01/1993 and 01/2006 (at the latest). Outside this time range the corrections are kept constant.These files will be updated periodically with the most recent data, although not as frequently as for EN3_v2a. However, as the XBT bias corrections are not defined beyond 2006, caution should be exercised if using data from that date onwards. How to downloadUse the links on the left to download the dataset a year at a time. Only profile data are available.
If you require the whole dataset one way to do this is to use wget. To do this download one of the files below (and edit it if not all files are required).
Assuming that you are in the directory into which the data are to be copied and that the downloaded file is also in that directory, the download can then be initiated by typing at the command line:
Note: the above method was written for Linux systems but should also be applicable to other operating systems with wget installed. Additional informationOther information that may be useful can be found below:
