Sparton XBT Qualification Test Results

Abstract

In January 1992 a U.S. Navy qualification test for Sparton of Canada T-7(2500ft) expendable bathythermographs (XBTs) was conducted in a region northeast of Barbados, where ideal conditions exist for such a test. A total of 416 T-7 XBTs (312 Sparton XBTs and 104 U.S. Navy inventory XBTS) were launched. Conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profiles were also made during the test. The results obtained from the qualifying test will be used to determine if Sparton of Canada XBTs will be acceptable for use by the U.S. Navy. Ocean Drifter, Ocean Currents, Ocean Instrumentation
