What Does AXBT Stand For?
AXBT stands for Expendable Bathythermographs Air Dropped Temperature Device
AXBT, or Expendable Bathythermographs Air Dropped Temperature Device, is a sophisticated oceanographic instrument designed for the rapid and efficient collection of temperature data in marine environments. Deployed from aircraft, AXBTs provide critical temperature profiles of the water column, assisting in underwater research and enhancing naval and meteorological operations. These devices are engineered for single-use, allowing for the streamlined gathering of data across vast ocean areas, which is crucial for understanding ocean dynamics and improving weather forecasting models.
