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: | Environmental survey of two interim dumpsites, Middle Atlantic Bight from 1973-11-05 to 1973-11-10 (NCEI Accession 7501280) |
| Abstract: | A second oceanographic survey cruise was made to an interim municipal sludge dumpsite and initially to an interim dumpsite for the disposal of industrial acid waste in the fall of 1973. Both sites are located on the continental shelf in the Middle Atlantic Bight. Observation were made of hydrographic and bathymetric conditions, major circulation patterns, water quality, sediment composition, heavy metals in sediments and biota, bacteriology, phytoplankton and zooplankton communities, vertebrates and benthic invertebrates. |

| Supplementary information: | Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description. To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
