Temperature profiles from MBT casts from the SEBAGO from Ocean Weather Station E (OWS-E) in the North Atlantic Ocean from 18 April 1965 to 23 May 1965 (NODC Accession 6500927)

Bathythermograph data were collected from the SEBAGO within a 1-mile radius of Ocean Weather Station E (3500N 04800W) and in transit. Data were collected by the United States Coast Guard from 18 April 1965 to 23 May 1965. 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.本数据集的温深仪（Bathythermograph）数据采集自SEBAGO平台，采集范围覆盖E号海洋气象站（35°00′N，048°00′W）周边1英里海域及航行途中。美国海岸警卫队于1965年4月18日至1965年5月23日期间完成数据收集工作。该观测平台配备专业观测设备与操作人员，可开展气象与海洋状况监测。本数据集由美国国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）按照NODC标准通用温深仪输出（Universal Bathythermograph Output, UBT）格式进行处理。完整格式说明可通过NODC官网链接https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/bt.html 获取。 UBT文件格式适用于通过机械式温深仪（Mechanical Bathythermograph, MBT）获取的温度-深度剖面数据。MBT观测的最大深度约为285米，因此其数据仅可用于研究海洋上层的热结构。每条观测记录均包含航次信息、观测日期、位置与时间。数据记录由多组温度-深度数值对构成，本文件内的温度数据以每5米为均匀深度间隔进行记录。
