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: |
Microplastic concentrations in the sediments of Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea, Antarctica) collected from 2015-01-20 to 2015-01-25 (NCEI Accession 0292616) |
| Abstract: |
This study estimated the concentration of microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5mm; reported in unit of items/m2) in in the sediments of Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea, Antarctica) collected from 2015-01-20 to 2015-01-25. Microplastics were collected using a Van Veen grab. This dataset contains the results from all 11 sediment samples, in a spreadsheet format. |
