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: | Abundance of taxa from images collected by the ROV/SCINI in benthic quadrats under the McMurdo Ice Shelf, Dec. 2008 (NCEI Accession 0277286) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected at McMurdo Station during deployment McMurdo_SCINI_2008 in the South Pacific Ocean from 2008-12-02 to 2008-12-06. These data include abundance and taxon. The instruments used to collect these data include Remotely Operated Vehicle. These data were collected by Dr Stacy Kim of Moss Landing Marine Laboratories as part of the "Development of a Remotely Operated Vehicle for Under Sea Ice Research in Polar Environments (SCINI)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: MIS Benthic Quadrat Dataset Description: This dataset includes abundances of taxa that were observed in images taken in benthic quadrats under the McMurdo Ice Shelf, Antarctica during December 2008. The imagery was collected with a Remotely Operated Vehicle called the 'Submersible Capable of under Ice Navigation and Imaging' (ROV/SCINI). Quadrats ranged in area from 0.08 to0.75 meters^2. |

| Supplementary information: | Acquisition Description: Sites are centered at 78° 13.2’S, 164° 14.1’E, from North 500 meters north of this location, and South 500 meters south of this location, within the center of the barranca. Animal densities are reported as number per square meter. Transect imagery was collected with the ROV SCINI. Organisms were identified to the lowest possible taxon. |
