The following note was prepared by the U.S. JGOFS Data Management
Office (DMO) and applies to all of the NASA P3 AXBT sections released by 
Dr. Frank Hoge, NASA.

These data have undergone a rigorous reprocessing and quality control
review and the resulting data set, in the opinion of the DMO, is 
of poor quality.

The AXBT data were collected using two different recording rates
(high and low resolution).  The high resolution observations,
(flights 10, 13, 18 and 21 May) have been reprocessed and averaged at
one meter binned intervals.  The low resolution data were recorded at
approximately 1.4 meter intervals and reported as recorded.  Spiking 
was a problem in both data sets.
