Bathythermograph (MBT) data from ALAMINOS, C. H. DAVIS, and others in the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and others from 1948-04-08 to 1968-09-15 (NCEI Accession 6900158)
This dataset includes bathythermograph (MBT) data from ALAMINOS, C. H. DAVIS, CARYN, J. W. GIBBS, L/S BARNEGAT, NOAA Ship Mt. Mitchell, R/V Atlantis, and USS R. L. WILSON in the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, North Atlantic Ocean, and North Pacific Ocean from 1948-04-08 to 1968-09-15.
Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Bathythermograph (MBT) (C128) format.
The C128 format is used for temperature-depth profile data obtained using the mechanical bathythermograph (MBT) instrument. The maximum depth of MBT observations is approximately 285 m. Therefore, MBT data are useful only in studying the thermal structure of the upper layers of the ocean. Cruise information, date, position, and time are reported for each observation. The data record comprises pairs of temperature-depth values. Temperature data in this file are recorded at uniform 5 m depth intervals.
