What Does AXBT Stand For?
AXBT stands for Air Deployed Expendable Bathythermographs
AXBT, or Air Deployed Expendable Bathythermographs, are devices used to measure underwater temperature profiles quickly and efficiently. Deployed from aircraft, these expendable instruments provide critical data for oceanographic research, meteorological studies, and naval operations by profiling the temperature of water down to significant depths. Their rapid deployment capabilities and accurate readings enhance the understanding of ocean dynamics and contribute to improved weather forecasting and maritime safety.
