Bathythermograph (MBT) data from STRANGER in the Bering Sea, Coastal Waters of Southeast Alaska and British Columbia, and others from 1954-12-09 to 1962-04-14 (NCEI Accession 7600201)
This dataset includes bathythermograph (MBT) data from STRANGER in the Bering Sea, Coastal Waters of Southeast Alaska and British Columbia, Gulf of Alaska, Gulf of Thailand, Indian Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, Philippine Sea, and South China Sea from 1954-12-09 to 1962-04-14.
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.
