    • WATER TEMPERATURE and other data from USS DECATUR, USCGC MELLON and other platforms from 1976-01-01 to 1985-12-31 (NCEI Accession 8900169)

    Metadata Updated: December 1, 2023

    Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Bathythermograph XBT Selected Depths (SBT) (C125) format.

    The UBT (C125) format contains temperature-depth profile data obtained using expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Cruise information, position, date and time were reported for each observation. The data records are comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. Depths are selected by the originator - usually at standard horizons or some fixed interval. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles to depths of either 450 or 760 m. Special instruments permitted measurements to be obtained to 1830 m.
