A Method for Comparing Digital XBT Compression Techniques.

Abstract

The compression of digitally recorded expendable bathythermograph (XBT) profile data is a necessary pre-requisite to their use in many applications. A method of comparing different compression techniques using a UNIVAC 1106 computer is presented. By applying three such techniques to over 200 XBT profiles recorded during various cruises of the R. V. MARIA PAOLINA G., a comparison of the results has identified the optimum method, which has now been adopted for XBT data compression at SACLANTCEN. (Author)
