Statement

These are disposable probes launched en route from the ship; their main interest is that they are able to get profiles quickly, without stopping the boat. The most frequently used are the XBT Deep Blue. The probe is connected to the data acquisition PC via a gun and an electronic interface. The probe contains 2000 meters of copper wire that unwinds when thrown. When it breaks at the end of the throw, the recording stops and the probe is lost. The average depth of the profiles is 800 meters. Other models exist, for shallower profiles or for faster ships.
