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: |
Physical data collected from towed CTD from R/V Lowell Weicker in the eastern Long Island Sound in support of the Collaborative Research: Investigating Tidal Influences on Subtidal Estuary-Coast Exchange Using Observations and Numerical Simulations from 2009-07-21 to 25 August 25, 2010 (NCEI Accession 0115770) |
| Abstract: |
The dataset is an archive of CTD data obtained from a towed undulating platform (Acrobat) in the region near the mouth of Long Island Sound. The observations were made with a Towed Oceanographic Microstructure and Auxiliary Sensors Instrument (TOMASI) manufactured by Rockland Scientific. The TOMASI was carried aboard a towed undulating vehicle, an Acrobat manufactured by SeaSciences. The Acrobat was towed behind the ship (cable payout is given within the header portion of the data files) and undulated between approximately 2 m below the surface to approximately 5 m above the bottom (or to a maximum depth of about 40 m). The dataset consists of 61 files each containing time series of longitude, latitude, pressure, temperature, conductivity, salinity, and sigma-t. |
