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: SEDIMENT PROPERTIES and Other Data from FIXED PLATFORM From Coastal Waters of California from 1978-04-11 to 1978-12-03 (NCEI Accession 8000315)
Abstract: Sediment properties and other data from FIXED PLATFORM From Coastal Waters of California from April 11 to December 3, 1978. This data set consists of the results of the Nearshore Sediment Transport Study at Torrey Pines Beach, California. These data were submitted on 8 tapes in unformatted binary format. A description of the project can be found under: "Report on data from the Nearshore Sediment Transport | IMR Reference Number 79-8, Scripps Institute of Oceanography. The data are divided into 8 physical tapes with several logical tape numbers (LT) within the tapes. TP1-TP8 (LT 2) describes the results of the Scripps Shelf and Shore data (SAS); (L00911) The Field measurements of Surf; L00912 - represents the University of Washington data; L00913 - represents the Beach and Offshore Survey data. These data have been archived to the following 18-track cartridges: Nearshore Sediment Transport Study, Torrey Pines Beach, CA.

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.
