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: Coral Community Metabolism Data From the Palmyra Atoll, Aug 2012 to Oct 2012 (NODC Accession 0121946)
Abstract: There are three data files associated with Koweek et al. All data files are in MATLAB format. If you require a different data format, please contact dkoweek@stanford.edu to discuss your data needs.
1. Physical oceanographic data from Eulerian measurements at the SIB site (data in Fig. 3 of the paper)
2. Biogeochemical data from Eulerian measurements at the SIB site (data in Fig. 4 of the paper)
3. Metabolic rate data (NCC, NCP) from Lagrangian and Eulerian methods along with associated environmental and ecological conditions (data in Figs. 2, 5, and 6 of the paper).

This data was collected as part of "Observations and Modeling of C System Dynamics at Palmyra Atoll: In Support of the Development of Management Strategies for Ocean Acidification Impacts in the Tropics", a proposal by Robert Dunbar (Stanford University) and Jennifer Smith (Scripps Insitution of Oceanography) funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. The goal of this project was to better understand the carbonate chemistry and community metabolism of a relatively undisturbed, isolated Pacific coral reef in order to better understand and anticipate how coral reef ecosystem function may change with ocean acidification.
