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: Averages of EPSONDE Microstructure Profiles from the Shallow Site, R/V Seward Johnson cruise SJ9506 in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank in 1995 as part of the U.S. GLOBEC program (GB project) (NCEI Accession 0277888)
Abstract: This dataset contains physical data collected on R/V Seward Johnson during cruise SJ9506 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1995-04-01 to 1995-04-30. These data include salinity calculated from CTD primary sensors, sigma-t, water pressure, and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include EPSONDE. These data were collected by Dave Hebert of University of Rhode Island as part of the "U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank (GB)" project and "U.S. GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-10-29.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

microstructure data SJ9506 shallow site

Dataset Description:
Averages of EPSONDE Microstructure Profiles

Shallow Site, Seward Johnson 95-06

Typically, an EPSONDE microstructure profile is the average of 10 deployments of the EPSONDE instrument. One microstructure profile per profile number. During Seward Johnson cruise SJ9508, 20 deployments were made during each sampling event resulting in 2 microstructure profiles per profile number.

DMO Note: This data set as submitted contained the parameter "station". In the context of our definition, station was used incorrectly. We have changed this parameter to "profile" with the definition of: consecutively numbered averaged EPSONDE profile. Users consulting the GSO Tech. Report should equate profile number with station number.
