Bathythermograph (MBT) data from ARA CAPITAN CANEPA, AZOPARDO, and others in the North Atlantic Ocean, Rio de la Plata, and others from 1955-05-19 to 1967-09-07 (NCEI Accession 6900491)

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 ARA CAPITAN CANEPA, AZOPARDO, BAHIA BLANCA, BUENOS AIRES, GENERAL SAN MARTIN, GENERAL ZAPIOLA, HERCULES, MISIONES, PIEDRABUENA, REPUBLICA, SAN JUAN, and SARANDI in the North Atlantic Ocean, Rio de la Plata, South Atlantic Ocean, and Southern Ocean from 1955-05-19 to 1967-09-07. 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.
