Temperature profiles from MBT casts from the OWASCO from Ocean Weather Station C (OWS-C) in the North Atlantic Ocean from 06 November 1964 to 28 November 1964 (NODC Accession 6400972)

Bathythermograph data were collected from the OWASCO within a 1-mile radius of Ocean Weather Station C (5245N 0350W) and in transit. Data were collected by the United States Coast Guard from 06 November 1964 to 28 November 1964. 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.海水温深仪（Bathythermograph）数据采集自OWASCO，覆盖海洋气象站C（52°45′N，035°00′W）周边1英里范围及航行途中。该数据集由美国海岸警卫队于1964年11月6日至1964年11月28日期间采集。观测平台配备专业观测设备并配有操作人员，用于开展气象与海洋环境状况监测。国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）已将所有数据处理为符合NODC标准的通用温深仪输出（Universal Bathythermograph Output, UBT）格式。完整的格式说明可通过NODC官网地址www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/bt.html获取。 UBT文件格式用于存储通过机械式海水温深仪（Mechanical Bathythermograph, MBT）获取的温度-深度剖面数据。机械式温深仪的最大观测深度约为285米，因此MBT数据仅可用于海洋上层热结构的相关研究。每条观测记录均包含航次信息、观测日期、位置及时间。数据记录由多组温度-深度数值对组成，文件内的温度数据以5米为固定深度间隔进行记录。
