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: Cloud amount/frequency, SALINITY and other data from unknown platforms from 1959-04-22 to 1984-07-30 (NCEI Accession 9600069)
Abstract: The Ocean Serial data in this accession was collected from 340 cruises Iceland as part of Global Ocean Data Archaeology and Rescue (GODAR) project. The data was collected between April 22, 1959 and July 30, 1984 from 9,098 stations. Oceanographic Station Data contain physical and chemical oceanographic data recorded at discrete depth levels. Seventeen zipped files of data were submitted to NODC by International Council for Exploration of the Sea, Denmark. The Ocean-Station-Data was digitized by R. Bauer for Ocean Climate Laboratory, NODC.

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.
