Bathythermograph (MBT) data from HMAS Anzac, HMAS Diamantina, and others in the Bismarck Sea, Coral Sea, and others from 1968-05-22 to 1969-10-26 (NCEI Accession 7101137)
This dataset includes bathythermograph (MBT) data from HMAS Anzac, HMAS Diamantina, HMAS Duchess, HMAS Perth, HMAS Stuart, HMAS Vampire, HMAS Yarra, and QUEENBOROUGH in the Bismarck Sea, Coral Sea, East China Sea, Great Australian Bight, Indian Ocean, Japan Sea, North Pacific Ocean, Philippine Sea, Solomon Sea, South China Sea, South Pacific Ocean, and Tasman Sea from 1968-05-22 to 1969-10-26.
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.
