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 CAPRICORNE from 1971-11-03 to 1980-07-13 (NCEI Accession 8400017)
Abstract: Water depth and other ocean station data from CAPRICORNE and other platforms collected between November 3, 1971 and July 13, 1980. The data was received from the French Centre National pour l'Exploitation des Océans (CNEXO). The submission was done by Mr. Jacques Raillard. The physical profile data was collected using bottles, Secchi disks and meteorological sensors. The data has been processed and is available in the C100 file format of NODC.

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.
