Bathythermograph (MBT) data from LYNX in the Caribbean Sea, English Channel, and others from 1957-07-02 to 1962-02-01 (NCEI Accession 7501176)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 07:05 AM | Dataset Last Updated: August 31, 2022 at 12:00 AM
This dataset includes bathythermograph (MBT) data from LYNX in the Caribbean Sea, English Channel, Indian Ocean, North Atlantic Ocean, and South Atlantic Ocean from 1957-07-02 to 1962-02-01. 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.
