What's a Bathythermograph?

Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

A device that can be used to measure temperature in the ocean at different depths.

http://www.yourdictionary.com/bathythermograph
"a device for measuring the temperature of the ocean at any specific depth down to c. 1,800 m (c. 5,900 ft)"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathythermograph
"The bathythermograph, or BT, is a small torpedo-shaped device that holds a temperature sensor and a transducer to detect changes in hydrostatic pressure. Lowered into the water from an under way ship, the BT records pressure and temperature changes as it is dropped through the water. Because the pressure is a function of depth (see Pascal's law), it can be correlated with temperature.needed The bathythermograph was first developed by Athelstan Spilhaus."

Bathythermograph is a device that collects "temperature profile data (temperature versus depth)". There are two types. The Mechanical Bathythermograph is now obsolete and replaced by the Expendable Bathythermograph. The information is often sent to the National Oceanographic Data Center "in support of the Integrated Global Ocean Services System (IGOSS)."

This is much like one we used on my submarine when I was in the service
