Selected depth bathythermograph (SBT) data from CHOFU MARU, HEIWA IBARAKI MARU, and others in the Coral Sea, East China Sea, and others from 1957-05-09 to 1981-07-01 (NCEI Accession 8200350)

This dataset includes selected depth bathythermograph (SBT) data from CHOFU MARU, HEIWA IBARAKI MARU, HIDEHIKO, HOKKO MARU, KAIYO, KAIYO-MARU NO 4, KEIFU MARU, KINSEI MARU, KOFU MARU, KUROBE, KUROKAMI-MARU, MEIYO-MARU, MITO MARU, NOJIMA, NOTO, OJIKA, RYOFU MARU, SATSUMA, SATSUNAN, SEIFU MARU, SHINANO, SHONAN MARU NO 1, SHOYO MARU, SHUMPU MARU, SHUNYO MARU, SOYO-MARU, TAKUYO, TANKAI-MARU, TONAN-MARU, TOO MARU, and UNKNOWN PLATFORMS OF JAPAN in the Coral Sea, East China Sea, Japan Sea, North Pacific Ocean, Philippine Sea, Sea of Okhotsk, Solomon Sea, and South Pacific Ocean from 1957-05-09 to 1981-07-01. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Selected Depth Bathythermograph (SBT) (C125) format. The UBT (C125) format contains temperature-depth profile data obtained using expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Cruise information, position, date and time were reported for each observation. The data records are comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. Depths are selected by the originator - usually at standard horizons or some fixed interval. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles to depths of either 450 or 760 m. Special instruments permitted measurements to be obtained to 1830 m.
