Temperature profiles from MBT casts from the SEBAGO from Ocean Weather Station E (OWS-E) in the North Atlantic Ocean from 01 September 1965 to 28 September 1965 (NODC Accession 6500022)

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 01 September 1965 to 28 September 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.本数据集为温深计（bathythermograph）观测数据，采集自SEBAGO平台，覆盖范围包括E号海洋气象站（3500N 04800W）周边1英里范围内及航行途中。美国海岸警卫队于1965年9月1日至1965年9月28日完成该批数据的采集工作。该观测平台配备专业设备并配有操作人员，用于开展气象与海洋状况观测。数据由NODC按照NODC标准通用温深计输出（Universal Bathythermograph Output, UBT）格式进行标准化处理。完整格式说明可通过NODC官网的https://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温深计（mechanical bathythermograph, MBT）获取的温度-深度剖面数据。机械式温深计观测的最大深度约为285米，因此其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次信息、观测日期、位置与时间。数据记录由温度-深度值对组成，该文件中的温度数据以5米的等深度间隔进行记录。
