Mark Nixon uses along the Mackenzie Valley for deep borehole readings. See http://www.vemco.com/mlogdata.htm for details and excellent picture showing the very small sensor stainless steel housing which protrudes from the end of the pressure case (good to 1000 m), giving them a reasonable time constant.
