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: | Temperature-depth profiles from archival tags deployed on basking sharks tagged from F/V Ezyduzit in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean from 2004-2011 (Basking Shark Geochem Tracers project) (NCEI Accession 0278384) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains physical data collected on F/V Ezyduzit during cruise Thorrold_2004-11 at Northwest Atlantic Ocean from 2004-09-24 to 2012-04-02. These data include depth and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Wildlife Computers Mk10 Pop-up Archival Tag (PAT). These data were collected by Greg Skomal of Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries and Leah Houghton and Simon Thorrold of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "Resolving Migratory Connectivity of Basking Sharks (Cetorhinus maximus) in the Western Atlantic Ocean: Integrating Novel Geochemical Tracers with Satellite Archival Tags (Basking Shark Geochem Tracers)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-11-21. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: Temperature-depth profiles from archival tags deployed on basking sharks. Dataset Description: This dataset contains pop-up satellite archival transmitting (PSAT) tag data for 25 individual basking sharks tagged in the North Atlantic Ocean in 2004-2011. Platform terminal transmission (PTT) numbers are used as individual identification numbers throughout the dataset. Unique identification (UID) numbers provide a daily index value. |

| Supplementary information: | Acquisition Description: Basking sharks were tagged with Wildlife Computers PAT and miniPAT pop-up archival tags. These tags logged temperature and pressure at regular intervals through the deployment. Software on the tag then summarized the temperature-depth and time-at-depth information over 12 or 24 hours and this summary information is then transmitted via ARGOS satellites to the researcher upon tag release on pre-determined date set by the researcher. Geolocation of the sharks through time is then achieved either by light level geolocation or by matching with ARGO float profiles as outlined below (see 'Processing Description'). |
