Depth log

Depths in feet as logged. Where a dive has no depth given, periscope depth (about 60 ft) is assumed. Temperature layers from the report's bathythermograph table. Seafloor: NOAA ETOPO1. Weather: ERA5 reanalysis (Open-Meteo), which is thin on 1940s observations and can miss small storms the captains recorded.
