five.sub - Records of daily
water temperatures and salinity observations for the period
Jan. 1956 - Dec.
1971. MBT (mechanical bathythermograph)
slides read at 15 meter intervals by group at Woods Hole
Oceanographic Inst. This file is data digitized from U.S.C.G. Oceanographic
Reports by the Orkand company at
NCDC in fall of 1998. Information regarding keying format can be found
here. See list of
U.S.C.G. Report Data
above for actual depth of measurements and changes in locality and water
depth of the Lightship and look here

more background information.
five_sub.kle - Data from barnegat.sub, tab-delimited with fields labelled by K. Elder.
5fathom.ls - Subsurface
mbt (mechanical bathythermograph) data for the period
May 1965 - Sept. 1972 at 5 m
intervals given to K. Elder by George Hiemerdinger who read it from an
NCDC CDROM. Information regarding formatting of data available here.
Note: Apparently there were
two groups reading the mbt slides, one at Woods Hole whose work was published
in the Coast Guard Reports, and the other at NCDC. The NCDC group read
the slide at 5 meter intervals whereas the WH group read them at 15 meter
intervals.
