Bathythermograph (MBT) data from HORIZON in the Alboran Sea, Arabian Sea, and others from 1948-09-16 to 1968-01-26 (NCEI Accession 7500893)
This dataset includes bathythermograph (MBT) data from HORIZON in the Alboran Sea, Arabian Sea, Coral Sea, Gulf of Aden, Gulf of Alaska, Gulf of Aqaba, Gulf of California, Gulf of Suez, Indian Ocean, Laccadive Sea, Mediterranean Sea, North Atlantic Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, Red Sea, and South Pacific Ocean from 1948-09-16 to 1968-01-26.
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.
