The bathythermograph, or BT, also known as the Mechanical Bathythermograph, or MBT; [1] is a device that holds a temperature sensor and a transducer to detect changes in water temperature versus depth down to a depth of approximately 285 meters (935 feet).
A thermo-hygrograph. A thermo-hygrograph or hygrothermograph is a chart recorder that measures and records both temperature and humidity (or dew point).Similar devices that record only one parameter are a thermograph for temperature and hygrograph for humidity.
The bathythermograph was invented in 1937, which became a common fixture amongst ASW ships within only a few years. [26] There were relatively few major advances in weapons during the period; however, the performance of torpedoes continued to improve.
Major contributor to redesigning the bathythermograph during World War II. His version could be used on submarines to detect the ocean thermocline. [2]

The earliest idea for a bathometer is due to Leon Battista Alberti (1404–1472) who sunk a hollow sphere attached to some ballast with a hook. When the ball reached the bottom it detached from the ballast and resurfaced.
