THREE-LINE ANALYSIS OF BATHYTHERMOGRAPHS

Abstract

A method of BT analysis that fits three straight-line segments to each set of digital BT data is described. These segments are identified, in descending order, with the mixed layer, the thermocline, and the deep layer. The associated slopes, temperature ranges, and depth ranges provide statistical abstractions that can be useful in ASWEPS procedures. The results of using this method for sampling the MILOC-64 data are discussed.
