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: | Water temperature and other data from DRIFTING BUOY from TOGA Area - Pacific (30 N to 30 S) from 1992-12-08 to 1993-07-19 (NCEI Accession 9500059) |
| Abstract: | The drifting buoy data set in this accession was collected from TOGA Area - Pacific (30 N to 30 S) in Equatorial Pacific, North of Australia as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere and Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment. Four Marisonde drifters with thermistors strings to 150 m. maximum, using Argos for location and data collection, were released during the TOGA COARE Intensive Observing Period: 1) Marisonde GT 14416: Deployment 8 Dec 92. Although most of its measurements failed in the beginning of January 1993, it continued to drift until the end of July 1993. 2) Marisonde GT 14414: Deployment 9 Dec 92. It ceased to emit in February (93/02/22) for unknown reasons but data were correct up to that date. 3) Marisonde GT 14415: Deployment 27 Jan 93. Sea temperature measurements failed when deployed. The buoy provided reliable atmospheric data (Air pressure and wind) until mid-May 1993 and ceased to emit in mid-September. 4) Marisonde GT 15500: Deployment 27 Jan 93. Wind direction measurements failed when deployed. The other measurements were correct. Buoy was picked-up by a ship in February (93/02/19). The data was collected over a period spanning from December 8, 1992 to July 19, 1993 and submitted by Pierre Blouch, Centre National de Recherches Meteorologiques of Centre de Meteorologie Marine, c/o IFREMER. Data was received by NODC via internet through Harry Iredale. |

| 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.
