This record describes expendable bathythermograph, XBT, data collected on the RV Investigator voyage IN2016_V03, 'Monitoring Ocean Change and Variability along 170° W from the ice edge to the equator', which departed Hobart on the 26 April 2016 and returned to Lautoka, Fiji on the 30 June 2016. There was a port call at Wellington, New Zealand, 26 - 27 May for some science personnel change; this resulted in two "legs" of the voyage therefore Leg 1 is 26 April - 26 May 2016, and Leg 2 27 May - 30 June 2016.

The ship XBT system as well as Bec Cowley's wireless XBT system were used to collect multiple XBT drops at CTD deployments for data comparisons.

A total of 147 XBT casts were conducted over the duration of this voyage on the ship XBT system.

Data are stored in netCDF files at CSIRO.
