| Definition | A term to describe a generic mechanical bathythermograph (MBT). A small torpedo-shaped device that records water temperature in relation to depth. MBTs traditionally use a liquid-in-metal thermometer (toluene and copper tube) to measure temperature and Bourdon tube sensor to measure pressure. Temperature readings are recorded by a mechanical stylus, which scratches a thin line on a coated glass slide. Depth is then calculated as a function of pressure. MBTs are lowered into the water by a winch and dropped free-falling to a specified depth before being retrieved. It is capable of measuring temperature to depths of 300 m. | ||
