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: GLOBEC Cruise Report (three separate cruises) from the ALPHA HELIX, 2001 (NODC Accession 0000618)
Abstract: The purpose of the NE Pacific GLOBEC program is to develop a mechanistic understanding
of the response of the marine eceosystem to climate variability. Toward
this end the GLOBEC cruises on the Gulf of Alaska shelf will determine the physical-
chemical structure, primary production and the distribution and abundance of
zooplankton, yoy salmon and other planktivorous fish. These interdisciplinary cruises
will occur over a seven-year period and throughout the year so that seasonal and
interannual depictions of the oceanography of this shelf will be available. Some of the
data will be compared with historical data sets whereas other data sets will be a
product of the first systematic sampling effort from this shelf.
