This dataset contains temperature data from the TOGA/WOCE transect IX22/PX11. The transect runs between NW Australia, along the east coast of the Philippines towards Japan. Data have been collected since August 1986 and are ongoing. The transect is repeated approximately 8 times a year. The data are obtained from XBTs (expendable bathythermographs) deployed via the Ship-of-Opportunity Program (SOOP) of the IOC/WMO Integrated Global Ocean Services System (IGOSS), and are now managed by the Joint Australian Facility for Ocean Observing Systems (JAFOOS), a collaborative venture between CSIRO Marine Research and the Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre (BMRC).
