Diagnosed depth errors as a fraction of depth (r = (depth error)/depth) based on comparison with altimeter data. The XBT data have been analyzed by WMO 1770 code number, which indicates whether the original or the H95 fall-rate equation was used to find depth.

Data are from Table 2 of Wijffels et al.
