Temperature profiles from MBT casts from the GALLATIN from Ocean Weather Station C (OWS-C) and D (OWS-D) in the North Atlantic Ocean from 14 March 1971 to 18 April 1971 (NODC Accession 7100580)

Bathythermograph data were collected from the GALLATIN within a 1-mile radius of Ocean Weather Station C (5245N 03530W), D (4400N 04100W), and in transit. Data were collected by the United States Coast Guard from 14 March 1971 to 18 April 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.温深仪（Bathythermograph）数据采集自“加拉廷”号（GALLATIN），覆盖海洋气象站C（52°45′N，35°30′W）、海洋气象站D（44°00′N，41°00′W）周边1英里海域及航行途中。数据采集工作由美国海岸警卫队于1971年3月14日至4月18日完成。该观测平台配备专业设备与操作人员，可开展气象与海洋环境观测。所有数据均由美国国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）处理为符合其标准的通用温深仪输出（Universal Bathythermograph Output, UBT）格式。完整格式说明可通过NODC官网https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/bt.html查阅。 UBT文件格式用于存储通过机械式温深仪（Mechanical Bathythermograph, MBT）采集的温度-深度剖面数据。该仪器的最大观测深度约为285米，因此其数据仅适用于研究海洋上层热结构。每份观测记录均包含航行信息、观测日期、位置及时间。数据记录由温度-深度值对组成，本文件内的温度数据以5米为固定均匀深度间隔进行记录。
