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: Oceanographic and surface water meteorological parameter data collected from moored Realtime Coastal Observation Network (ReCON), Alpena Buoy (NDBC station 45162), Lake Huron, in the Great Lakes region by NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory from 2005-05-23 to 2019-10-24 (NCEI Accession 0213376)
Abstract: NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory collected the data from moored Realtime Coastal Observation Network (ReCON), Alpena Buoy (NDBC station 45162), Lake Huron, an in-situ moored station, in the Great Lakes. Observations were collected during the open water seasons of 2005-2008, 2010, and 2012-2019. This station is also known as NOAA National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) station Thunder Bay Buoy, Alpena, MI (45162). A temporal subset of these data are available from NDBC and the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) since 2012, this data accession contains the complete record of observations.

The ReCON buoy provides continuous, real-time observations facilitates modification of sampling parameters in anticipation of episodic events, facilitates collection of field samples in response to episodic events, supports long term research, and contributes to sensor and system development. Parameters collected include currents, water temperature, other oceanographic parameters, and meteorological parameters. The block of text at the beginning of each file contains information about the location and sensor used to collect data and the data headers followed by the observed data. Column 1 of the data is the timestamp, column 2 is the observed data, and column 3, where applicable, the QARTOD flag. Five QARTOD tests were run including gross range, climatological, spike, rate of change, and flat line tests. The highest value from the five tests were included under the “Qartod” column. If data were known to be invalid, that line of data was removed from the dataset.
