Temperature profiles from MBT casts from the WINNEBAGO from Ocean Weather Station V (OWS-V) in the North Pacific Ocean from 13 June 1971 to 03 July 1971 (NODC Accession 7100971)

Bathythermograph data were collected from the WINNEBAGO within a 1-mile radius of Ocean Weather Station V (3400N 16400E) and in transit. Data were collected by the United States Coast Guard from 13 June 1971 to 03 July 1971. The platform was equipped and staffed to observe weather and sea conditions. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Universal Bathythermograph Output (UBT) format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/bt.html.

The UBT file 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.

本数据集包含由WINNEBAGO号船在海洋气象站V号（北纬34°00′，东经164°00′）周边1英里范围内及航行途中采集的海水温度深度记录仪（Bathythermograph）数据。数据由美国海岸警卫队于1971年6月13日至1971年7月3日期间采集。该观测平台配备专业人员与设备，用于开展气象与海洋状况观测。数据经美国国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center，NODC）处理为NODC标准通用海水温度深度记录仪输出（Universal Bathythermograph Output，UBT）格式。完整格式说明可通过NODC官网www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/bt.html获取。

UBT文件格式适用于通过机械式海水温度深度记录仪（Mechanical Bathythermograph，MBT）获取的温度-深度剖面数据。MBT观测的最大探测深度约为285米，因此该类数据仅可用于研究海洋上层的热结构特征。每条观测记录均包含航次信息、观测日期、位置与时间。数据记录由成对的温度-深度数值构成，本文件中的温度数据以均匀5米的深度间隔进行记录。
