The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

Title: Production vs Irradiance data from RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer cruise NBP0103 in the Southern Ocean in 2001 (SOGLOBEC project) (NCEI Accession 0112637)
Abstract: This dataset contains biological and physical data collected on RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer during cruise NBP0103 in the South Pacific Ocean and Southern Ocean from 2001-01-01 to 2001-12-31. These data include depth and max photosynthesis. The instruments used to collect these data include Niskin bottle. These data were collected by Dr Maria Vernet of University of California-San Diego as part of the "U.S. GLOBEC Southern Ocean (SOGLOBEC)" project and "U.S. GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-03-05.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Production vs Irradiance

A short note on the "Southern Ocean Grid System": The grid is a Cartesian plane covering the sample region in which distances are easy to calculate. The grid system used for SOGLOBEC is a universal transverse mercator (UTM) projection with a certain base point and rotation. The base point was chosen in the far south and the rotation was chosen to create one axis along the peninsula, and the other offshore. The units of UTM are meters, but the points are chosen in km rounded to the nearest km. Negative numbers mean that samples were taken southwest of the y axis or southeast of the x axis.
