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: | BAROMETRIC PRESSURE and Other Data from NOAA Ship DISCOVERER and Other Platforms From NW Pacific (limit-180) and Others from 1992-03-03 to 1992-09-06 (NCEI Accession 9400094) |
| Abstract: | The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in NE Pacific (limit-180), NW Pacific (limit-180), and TOGA Area - Pacific (30 N to 30 S) as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere; and Climate and Global Change project. Data was collected from NOAA Ship DISCOVERER and JOHN V. VICKERS. The data was collected over a period spanning from March 3, 1992 to September 6, 1992. Data was submitted in three tapes by Kristene E. McTaggart of Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, Seattle, WA. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC. F022 High-resolution CTD data is collected from high resolution (conductivity-temperature-depth) instruments. As they are lowered and raised in the oceans, these electronic devices provide nearly continuous profiles of temperature, salinity and other parameters. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering or obtained by interpolation and may be reported at depth intervals as fine as 1 m. Cruise and instrument information, position, date, time and sampling interval are reported for each station. Environmental data at the time of the cast (meteorological and sea surface conditions) may also be reported. The data record comprises values of temperature, salinity or conductivity, density (computed sigma-t) and possibly dissolved oxygen or transmissivity at specified depth or pressure levels. Data may be reported at either equally or unequally spaced depth or pressure intervals. |

| 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. Points of contact for this data set include: Contact info: Agency: US DOC; NOAA; ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH LABORATORY; PACIFIC MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY PI: McTaggart, Kristene Address: address: 7600 SAND POINT WAY NE, BLDG 32 city: SEATTLE state: WA postal: 98115-0070 country: UNITED STATES In this accession, NCEI has archived multiple versions of these data. The latest (and best) version of these data has the largest version number. |
