"Disposable, free-falling probes that measure temperature in relation to depth using a thermistor and electronic data acquisition system. Probes are dropped into the water and a temperature signal is transferred to the platform by a wire that breaks when the wire is out. Depth is calculated as a function of time to descend and a known constant rate of descent."@en . "" . "SDN:L05::389" . . . . . . . "Expendable bathythermographs"@en . .
