portland.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
for
more background information.
portland_sub.kle - Data from portland.sub, tab-delimited with fields labelled by K. Elder.
port.ls - Subsurface mbt (mechanical
bathythermograph) data for the period July 1965
- Jan. 1973 at 5 m
intervals given to K. Elder by George Hiemerdinger who read it from an
NCDC CDROM. Information regarding data format 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 read the slide at
5 meter intervals whereas the WH group read them at 15 meter intervals.
