Bathythermograph (MBT) data from ARGO in the Arabian Sea, Bering Sea, and others from 1960-08-27 to 1966-11-28 (NCEI Accession 7200137)
This dataset includes bathythermograph (MBT) data from ARGO in the Arabian Sea, Bering Sea, Coral Sea, Indian Ocean, Laccadive Sea, North Atlantic Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, Philippine Sea, Sea of Okhotsk, South Atlantic Ocean, South China Sea, South Pacific Ocean, and Tasman Sea from 1960-08-27 to 1966-11-28.
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.
