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: |
Vessel line-transect surveys of Arctic marine mammals in the Chuckchi Sea, Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) research cruise on the vessel Norseman II, 2015-08-09 - 2015-09-03 (NCEI Accession 0177802) |
| Abstract: |
This dataset contains marine mammal observation data conducted during shipboard transects in the Chukchi Sea during the 9 August - 3 September 2015 Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) research cruise. The dataset is three comma-separated values (csv) files exported from the marine bird and mammal observation software WinCruz from the entire survey. Two data files contain the dates, times, latitude, longitude, species and best-high-low estimates of numbers for each cetacean (whales) and pinniped (seals, seal lions, and walrus) sightings. A third data file contains the track of the ship (as geographic coordinates) and the Beaufort sea state at two minute intervals as a measurement of effort. This dataset was transformed from the native format into a table structure using Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A, occurrence core) term names as column names. |
