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: | Physical and chemical data from HELLAND HANSEN, AKADEMIK MSTISLAV KELDYSH and other platforms in the Mediterranean Sea - Western Basin, Norwegian Sea and other waters from 1960-01-01 to 1978-12-17 (NCEI Accession 8200132) |
| Abstract: | This tape contains physical and chemical data taken by Iceland, 1977-1978, U.S.S.R. 1974, and physical and chemical data for the "Overflow Expedition", 1960 for Germany (F.R.), Iceland, Norway, United Kingdom, and U.S.S.R. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Ocean Station (C100) format. The Oceanographic Station Data (C100) format contains physical-chemical oceanographic data recorded at discrete depth levels. Most of the observations were made using multi-bottle Nansen casts or other types of water samplers. A small amount (about 5 percent) were obtained using electronic CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) or STD (salinity-temperature-depth) recorders. The CTD/STD data were reported to NODC at depth levels equivalent to Nansen cast data, however, and have been processed and stored the same as the Nansen data. Cruise information (e.g., ship, country, institution), position, date, and time, and reported for each station. The principal measured parameters and temperature and salinity, but dissolved oxygen, phosphate, total phosphorus, silicate, nitrate, nitrite, and pH may be reported. Meteorological conditions at the time of the cast (e.g., air temperature and pressure, wind, waves) may also be reported, as well as auxiliary data such as water color (Forel-Ule scale), water transparency (Secchi disk depth), and depth to bottom. Values of density (sigma-t) sound velocity, and dynamic depth anomaly are computed from measured parameters. Each station contains the measurements taken at the observed depth levels, but also includes data values interpolated to a set of standard depth levels. |

| 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: INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL FOR EXPLORATION OF THE SEA PI: N/A Address: address: PALAEGADE 2-4 city: COPENHAGEN state: NOT AVAILABLE postal: DK-1261 country: DENMARK In this accession, NCEI has archived multiple versions of these data. The latest (and best) version of these data has the largest version number. |
