frying.sub - Records of daily water temperatures and salinity observations for the period Nov. 1955 - 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 for more background information.
frying_sub.kle - Data from portland.sub, tab-delimited with fields labelled by K. Elder.
frying.ls - Subsurface
mbt (mechanical bathythermograph) data for the period
June 1965 - Jan 1973 at 5 m intervals given to K. Elder by George
Hiemerdinger who read it from an NCDC CDROM. The records are not
in chronological order. Information for the format of this data can
be found 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 seems to have read the slides at 5 meter intervals whereas
the WH group read them at 15 meter intervals.
