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: Oxygen profiles from sediment core samples collected in the northern Gulf of Mexico, May 2017 (NCEI Accession 0294404)
Abstract: This dataset contains chemical data collected in the Gulf of Mexico from 2017-07-11 to 2017-07-20. These data include depth core and dissolved Oxygen. The instruments used to collect these data include Oxygen Microelectrode Sensor. These data were collected by Dr David J. Burdige and Dr Richard C. Zimmerman of Old Dominion University and Dr Matthew Long of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "Toward an Improved Understanding of Blue Carbon: The Role of Seagrasses in Sequestering CO2 (Seagrass Blue Carbon)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-03-20.

Supplementary information: Acquisition Description:
Sediment cores were collected by divers, sealed in the field with rubber stoppers and returned to the lab for processing. Pore waters were collected by inserting rhizon samplers (Seeberg-Elverfeldt et al., 2005) through pre-drilled holes in the core tubes. Samples were collected in gas-tight glass syringes and filtered through 0.45 µm nylon filters into storage vials. Oxygen profiles in the cores were collected with polarographic microelectrodes (Luther et al., 2008) using a DLK 70 WebPstat electrochemical analyzer (AIS, Inc.) and a computer-controlled micro-profiler.

Note: 'sd' in this dataset means that the electrode signal deterioriated, likely due to sulfide interference.
