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: Temperature profiles from XBT casts from MULTIPLE PLATFORMS in support of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) from 1993-08-05 to 1995-12-26 (NCEI Accession 9700278)
Abstract: This dataset contains XBT data from California Star (C6JF2), Joana Bonita (3EFY6), Fua Kavenga (A3CA), SeaLand Enterprise (KRGB), Tonsina (KJDG), and Joana Bonita (3EFY6) from 05 August 1993 to 26 December 1995. Data were collected by Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) in support of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE). This data was collected using Sippican Deep Blue XBT's using the old fall rate coefficients (a=6.472, b=-2.16) and a Sippican MK12 controller board. Data files are text.

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.
