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: SPECIES IDENTIFICATION, TAXONOMIC CODE and species abundance tows - plankton tows data collected in the North Atlantic Ocean on the ALBATROSS IV, ENDEAVOR and OCEANUS cruises AL9505, AL9506 and others as part of the GB project from 1995-02-11 to 1999-06-24 (NODC Accession 0105531)
Abstract: NODC Accession 0105531 includes tows - plankton tows and biological data collected aboard the ALBATROSS IV, ENDEAVOR and OCEANUS during cruises AL9505, AL9506, AL9508, AL9605, AL9607, AL9701, AL9705, AL9707, AL9801, AL9806, AL9808, AL9901, AL9904, AL9906, EN261, EN263, EN265, EN276, EN278, EN282, EN320, OC275, OC298, OC300, OC302, OC317, OC319, OC322, OC336 and OC341 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1995-02-11 to 1999-06-24. These data include SPECIES IDENTIFICATION, TAXONOMIC CODE and species abundance. The instruments used to collect these data include Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System (MOCNESS). These data were collected by Erich Horgan and Larry Madin of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of GB. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NODC on 2013-04-25.

The following is the text of the abstract provided by BCO-DMO:

Organism abundance derived from sampling by the
10 m2 MOCNESS system
Important information:

The catch from each net was subsampled and all animals in the subsample were counted.
Due to the shear volume of data, only those animals found were represented in these on-line data. i.e., no animals with zero abundances were listed.
The precision variation in the latitude and longitude numbers is as reported.
Not all nets for all tows are represented here. Some nets came back empty.
