Bathythermograph (MBT), bathythermograph (XBT) data from AGINCOURT, BATTLEAXE, and others in the Alboran Sea, Baltic Sea, and others from 1947-08-14 to 1983-10-09 (NCEI Accession 9100112)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 07:50 AM | Dataset Last Updated: February 14, 2023 at 12:00 AM
The water depth and temperature data was collected using over 45 different ships from August 1947 to October 1983. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data was submitted in a tape containing 7,537 observations by Ted Dalzell of Hydro Department, Birkenhead, Merseyside, United Kingdom. The data has been converted and is now available on line in C116-Bathythermograph-XBT and C128-Bathythermograph-MBT file formats of NODC.
