Temperature profiles from MBT casts from the INGHAM from Ocean Weather Station C (OWS-C) in the North Atlantic Ocean from 30 December 1964 to 02 February 1965 (NODC Accession 6400844)

Bathythermograph data were collected from the INGHAM 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 30 December 1964 to 02 February 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“INGHAM”号舰艇，覆盖范围包含海洋气象站C（52°45′N，035°00′W）周边1英里海域及航行途中。数据由美国海岸警卫队于1964年12月30日至1965年2月2日期间采集。该作业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观测。所有数据已由美国国家海洋数据中心（NODC）处理为NODC标准通用温深仪输出（UBT）格式。完整的格式说明可从NODC官网https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/bt.html获取。 通用温深仪输出（UBT）文件格式用于存储通过机械式温深仪（MBT）获取的温度-深度剖面数据。机械式温深仪观测的最大深度约为285米，因此该类数据仅适用于研究海洋上层的热结构。每条观测记录均包含航行信息、观测日期、位置与时间，数据记录由温度-深度值对组成。本文件中的温度数据以均匀的5米深度间隔进行记录。
