Determining Depth Offset
Focus on the temperature gradient: derivative of temperature with respect to depth
Minimize temperature error effect

Depth Correction Algorithm
• Assemble the depth offsets (dZ)• Recalculate XBT depths
Znew = Zxbt+dZ
• Back calculate time (t)• Fit new fall rate equation to (t) z = at^2 + bt + c
