Bathythermograph (MBT), ocean station data from ELLENBOGEN, FEHMARNBELT, and others in the Arctic Ocean, Baltic Sea, and others from 1919-09-29 to 1976-04-26 (NCEI Accession 7700179)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 07:20 AM | Dataset Last Updated: September 08, 2022 at 12:00 AM
This is German Surface Physical & Chemical Data submitted by Deutsches Hydrographische Institut. This data was collected in the Labrador Sea from January 6, 1974 to August 16, 1974. There is no documentation or description of the source code format. 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.
