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: | Turbidity, SOLAR RADIATION - ATMOSPHERIC and other data from GILLISS in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1977-05-05 to 1977-09-02 (NCEI Accession 7800461) |
| Abstract: | This entry contains the results from the Outer Continental Shelf Study (OCS) benchmark study in the North Atlantic which ran May 5 to September 2, 1977 from the R/V GILLISS. These data were submitted by Energy Resources Co., Inc. in fulfillment of BLM contract # AA550-CT6-51. This data contains eleven files with different file types and so different reference numbers have been assigned. The following is a description of the files and a listing of the reference numbers: file 1 labelled L01000, L130 contains nutrients, sal, temp and do data; file 2 labelled L00984, L513 contains %silt, %clay, %grain size, %carbon and %nitrogen in sediments; file 3,4 labelled L00985, L521 contains taxonomic code, counts and egg/larvae; file 5 labelled L00986, L134 contains metals in zooplankton, water, sediment and macrobenthos; file 6 labelled L00987, L131 contains lipids, hydrocarbons in water, zooplankton, macrobenthos, sediment and surface film and; file 7,8,9 labelled L00988, L504 contains macrobenthic taxonomic codes and counts. |

| 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. Points of contact for this data set include: Contact info: Agency: ENERGY RESOURCES CO. INC.
