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 ABSECON from Ocean Weather Station D (OWS-D), E (OWS-E), and H (OWS-H) in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1968-01-07 to 1968-02-13 (NCEI Accession 6800356) |
| Abstract: | Bathythermograph data were collected from the ABSECON within a 1-mile radius of Ocean Weather Station D (4400N 04100W), E (3500N 04800W), H (3800N 07100W), and in transit. Data were collected by the United States Coast Guard from 07 January 1968 to 13 February 1968. 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. |

| Supplementary information: | Note: Preliminary metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis. Metadata were updated in July of 2007.
