Bathythermograph (MBT) data from CLYDE-OWS I, CLYDE-OWS J, and others in the English Channel, Indian Ocean, and others from 1948-07-21 to 1975-07-15 (NCEI Accession 7700895)

This dataset includes bathythermograph (MBT) data from CLYDE-OWS I, CLYDE-OWS J, HMS Hecate, HMS Hydra, OWEN, OWS I, OWS J, and UNKNOWN PLATFORMS OF UNITED KINGDOM in the English Channel, Indian Ocean, Inner Seas off the West Coast of Scotland, Irish Sea and St. George's Channel, and North Atlantic Ocean from 1948-07-21 to 1975-07-15. 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.
