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

Supplementary information: The CARIACO (CArbon Retention In A Colored Ocean) Program has studied the relationship between surface primary production, physical forcing variables like the wind, and the settling flux of particulate carbon in the Cariaco Basin, a depression located on the continental shelf of Venezuela.

CARIACO is a collaborative multi-institutional program. It is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF Grants OCE-9216626, OCE-9729284, OCE-9401537, OCE-9729697, OCE-9415790, OCE-0118566, and OCE-9711318), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA grants NAG5-6448 and NAS5-97128), and the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cientificas y Tecnologicas (CONICIT, Venezuela, Grant 96280221).
