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: | MAFLA (Mississippi, Alabama, Florida) Computerized Data Base rev. 0 (26 JAN 79) for outer continental shelf baseline environmental surveys, 1974 - 1978 (NCEI Accession 8800021) |
| Abstract: | This dataset is the MAFLA Computerized Data Base, REV. 0, 26 JAN 79, for Mississippi, Alabama, Florida outer continental shelf baseline environmental surveys, 1974 - 1978. This dataset includes abundance and biomass data for meiofauna, demersal fish, macroinfauna, macroepifauna, zooplankton, and foraminifera, as well as Neuston juvenile and adult fish data. This dataset also includes sediments, organic content, suspended particulates, dissolved high molecular weight hydrocarbons, water temperature and salinity, and transmissometer data. Prepared by Dames and Moore for the Bureau of Land Management under contract AA550-CT7-34. Thomas B. Scanland, MAFLA program manager, Dames and Moore. Peter H. Feldhausen, data manager, Dames and Moore. J-J. Maurer, programmer-analyst, Dames and Moore. |

| 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, the NODC reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis. Points of contact for this data set include: Contact info: Agency: US DOC; NOAA; NESDIS; NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC DATA CENTER PI: N/A Address: address: NOT AVAILABLE city: NOT AVAILABLE state: NOT AVAILABLE postal: NOT AVAILABLE In this accession, NCEI has archived multiple versions of these data. The latest (and best) version of these data has the largest version number. |
