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: Chemical, physical, phytoplankton weight, and other data collected using meteorological sensors, plankton net, Secchi disk, CTD, and bottle casts from the G.W. PIERCE as part of the California Cooperative Fisheries Investigation (CALCOFI) project, from 1971-06-19 to 1980-09-14 (NCEI Accession 8300037)
Abstract: Chemical, physical, phytoplankton weight, and other data were collected from the G.W. PIERCE from June 19, 1971 to September 14, 1980. Data were collected using meteorological sensors, plankton net, Secchi disk, and bottle casts from the South Atlantic Ocean. Data were submitted by Skidaway Institute of Oceanography (SKIO) as part of the California Cooperative Fisheries Investigation (CALCOFI) project.

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.
