Documentation of Software for Estimating Expendable Shear Profiler (XCP) Fall Rates.

Abstract

Expendable Current Profilers (XCPs) do not transmit a pressure signal from the instrument to the ship. The depth is determined either by an empirical equation or by comparison with a reference oceanic variable. This report provides documentation of a computer program for the determination of a least squares best fitted polynomial for determining the depth as a function of time, using temperature as measured from a CTD at the time of the profiler drop.
