equipment. Each link is about a foot long and is faired for hydro- 

 dynamic stability while the chain is under tow. Thirty-four 

 thermistors are mounted at 25-foot intervals along the chain. An 

 electrical harness passes through the flat, faired links and con- 

 ducts the voltage-temperature analog outputs from the thermistor 

 beads to the ship's laboratory. A special computer built into the 

 data system scans each thermistor output every 12 seconds and 

 interpolates between outputs to fix the depths of all whole-degree- 

 Celsius isotherms within the towing depth of the thermistor chain. 

 Towing depth is maintained by a streamlined, 2300-pound
