Determining Depth Offset Focus on the temperature gradient: derivative of temperature with respect to depth Minimize temperature error effect
Depth Correction Algorithm • Assemble the depth offsets (dZ) • Recalculate XBT depths Znew = Zxbt+dZ • Back calculate time (t) • Fit new fall rate equation to (t) z = at^2 + bt + c
