    • NODC Standard Format Bathythermograph XBT Selected Depths (SBT/C125) Data (1947-1992) (NCEI Accession 9400120)

    Metadata Updated: March 17, 2023

    This collection contains temperature, depth and other data collected using bathythermograph (MBT/XBT) casts from numerous platforms in oceans and seas around the world from 1947-08-14 to 1992-01-04. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC Bathythermograph XBT Selected Depths (SBT/C125) format.

    The SBT format is used for temperature-depth data obtained from mechanical (MBT) and expendable (XBT) bathythermograph instruments. Data in this file were sent to NODC at depths selected by the originator - usually at standard horizons or some fixed interval. The MBT file holds data reported at a 5-meter depth interval, and depths in the XBT file are chosen at significant inflection points of the temperature-depth profile. SBT data can be selected from specific geographic regions or from specified cruises.
