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: PRESSURE - WATER and Other Data from EASTWARD and Other Platforms From Gulf of Mexico from 1975-03-11 to 1977-05-09 (NCEI Accession 8000017)
Abstract: Microfiche publication of the Mississippi Delta Bight Studies, Offshore Primary Production (R/E-5), Louisiana Sea Grant Program, was submitted by R.E. Turner and R.L. Allen from Louisiana State University. The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) data were collected on NOAA Ship OREGON cruises 57, 60, 62 and 64 from March 1975 to February 1976 (Ref. number l01012), and on the EASTWARD cruise E-1-J-77 from April to May 77 (Ref. number l01011) in Gulf of Mexico.

Supplementary information: Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM).

Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description.

To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
