Temperature profiles from MBT casts from the MCCULLOCH from Ocean Weather Station D (OWS-D) in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1966-09-17 to 1966-10-17 (NCEI Accession 6600056)
Bathythermograph data were collected from the MCCULLOCH within a 1-mile radius of Ocean Weather Station D (4400N 0410W) and in transit. Data were collected by the United States Coast Guard from 17 September 1966 to 17 October 1966. The platform was equipped and staffed to observe weather and sea conditions. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Universal Bathythermograph Output (UBT) format.
The UBT file 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.

Supplemental Information | Note: Digital data are not available at this time, August 2007. Note: Preliminary metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis. Metadata were updated in August of 2007.
