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: | BIOMAPER-II environmental data from the Video Plankton Recorder (VPR) data stream from RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer cruises NBP0103 and NBP0104 in the Southern Ocean from 2001 (SOGLOBEC project) (NCEI Accession 0278784) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains optical and physical data collected on RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer during cruises NBP0103 and NBP0104 in the South Atlantic Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, and Southern Ocean from 2001-04-29 to 2002-09-12. These data include light transmission (volts), potential temperature, salinity calculated from CTD primary sensors, sigma-theta, and water pressure. The instruments used to collect these data include BIo-Optical Multi-frequency Acoustical and Physical Environmental Recorder II. These data were collected by Dr Carin J. Ashjian of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "GLOBEC: Winter Distribution and Success of Southern Ocean Krill (Southern Ocean Krill)" and "U.S. GLOBEC Southern Ocean (SOGLOBEC)" projects 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 2019-03-04. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: BiomaperII environmental data from VPR data stream Dataset Description: BiomaperII Environmental data coincident with VPR data These data are from the Environmental Sensing System (ESS) a component of the BIO-Optical Multi-frequency Acoustical and Physical Environmental Recorder (BIOMAPER II) 1 data acquisition system. BIOMAPER II is a towed package consisting of a number of independent observational components: a multi-frequency sonar (Acoustics) system, a video plankton recorder (VPR) system, and an environmental sensor system (ESS). The incoming ESS environmental data is split into two data streams, one to be merged with the VPR data and one to be merged with the Acoustics data. There are times when either the Acoustic or VPR systems may be turned off. Thus, there is a independent ESS data set to support the Acoustic or VPR data streams. These are the ESS environmental data from the VPR data stream. ¹Wiebe, P.H., et al., 2002, BIOMAPER-II: An Integrated Instrument Platform for Coupled Biological and Physical Measurements in Coastal and Oceanic Regimes. IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering, 27(3) :700-716. These data are preliminary. Large outliers in the data have been removed. No comparison has been made with the data reported from the vertical CTD or water bottle stations. The depth data are very noisy because the instrument was sending out lots of spurious information and there has been no attempt to smooth it.
