Bathythermograph (MBT) data from DOLPHIN, HIDALGO, and others in the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and North Atlantic Ocean from 1962-05-09 to 1969-05-06 (NCEI Accession 6900760)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 29, 2026 | Last Modified: 2022-08-19T00:00:00.000+00:00
This dataset includes bathythermograph (MBT) data from DOLPHIN, HIDALGO, L/S AMBROSE, L/S BARNEGAT, L/S BOSTON, L/S CHESAPEAKE, L/S DELAWARE, L/S FIVE FATHOM BANK, L/S NANTUCKET, L/S PORTLAND, and USNS CHAIN in the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and North Atlantic Ocean from 1962-05-09 to 1969-05-06. 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.
