The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Temperature profiles from MBT casts from the MATAGORDA from Ocean Weather Station V (OWS-V) in the North Pacific Ocean from 1962-12-30 to 1963-03-09 (NCEI Accession 6200325) |
| Abstract: | Bathythermograph data were collected from the MATAGORDA within a 1-mile radius of Ocean Weather Station V (3400N 16400W) and in transit. Data were collected by the United States Coast Guard from 30 December 1962 to 09 March 1963. 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. 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. |
