Dots are XBT drops and triangles are STD lowerings. The solid line is the pathline. (Inset) Bottom topography in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Contours are in meters and show the topography of the deep eastern basin surrounded by the Florida, Campeche, and Cuban Platforms After each trip, the position data were replotted and a smooth plot constructed, which made a best fit to the estimated courses and speeds made good. Positioning was accomplished using Loran-A, radar, visual, and celestial observations. It is difficult to estimate errors, but based on Loran-A/radar comparisons, ±1 to 3 km seem reasonable. The expendable BT strip chart recorder was tested (and adjusted if necessary) before each cruise with a test canister. The average-surface-bucket temperature and the average-XBT- surface temperature (from the recorder) were calculated for each cruise, and i-hp surface XBT temperature was adjusted for the difference in the average. 374.
