Temperature profiles from MBT casts from the COOK INLET from Ocean Weather Station B (OWS-B) in the North Atlantic Ocean from 03 October 1970 to 26 October 1970 (NODC Accession 7001311)

Bathythermograph data were collected from the COOK INLET within a 1-mile radius of Ocean Weather Station B (5630N 05100W) and in transit. Data were collected by the United States Coast Guard from 03 October 1970 to 26 October 1970. 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.本数据集为采集自库克湾（COOK INLET）内海洋气象站B（Ocean Weather Station B，坐标5630N 05100W）周边1英里范围及航行途中的海水温深仪（Bathythermograph）数据。该数据集由美国海岸警卫队（United States Coast Guard）于1970年10月3日至10月26日期间采集。配套观测平台配备专业设备与操作人员，用于开展气象与海洋环境状况监测。采集所得数据由美国国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）处理为NODC标准通用温深仪输出（Universal Bathythermograph Output, UBT）格式。完整格式说明可从NODC官方网站的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（Mechanical Bathythermograph, MBT）采集的温深剖面数据。机械式温深仪的最大观测深度约为285米，因此该类数据仅适用于研究海洋上层的热结构特征。每条观测记录均包含航次信息、观测日期、观测位置与观测时间。数据记录由多组温深数值对组成。该文件中的温度数据以5米为等深度间隔进行记录。
