The Upper Ocean Thermal Center (UOTC) is a joint project between the
Coupled Model Project of NMC (CMP), the Ocean Networks Branch of NOS
(ONB) and the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory
(AOML). UOTC's mission is to optimize NOAA's efforts in the collection,
dissemination, analysis and modeling of global upper ocean thermal data for
climate research and prediction.

Goals
- Preserving
the continuity and monitoring the performance
of the current NOAA VOS-XBT network.
- Augmenting and updating
current UOT measurement capabilities through applied development
and phased implementation of new technology.
- Quality controlling
delayed-mode XBT data.
- Maintaining selected high density XBT lines
with the intent of determining and monitoring
the mesoscale seasonal to interannual variability of the upper
ocean.
