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: WATER TEMPERATURE and Other Data from KNORR and Other Platforms From NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) from 1981-04-02 to 1981-10-16 (NCEI Accession 8900252)
Abstract: This dataset consists of helium and tritium data submitted by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) as part of the Transient Tracers in the Ocean Funding Organization (TTO) North Atlantic Survey and NATS (North Atlantic Tracer Section) programs. The TTO data was collected during 7 legs of the R/V Knorr from April to October 1981. The NATS data was collected during legs 1-3 of the Atlantis from June to September 1981. The TTO program has reference number L00944 and the NATS program has a reference number of L00945. These programs were supported by NSF grants OCE79-21378 and OCE81-17998.

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.
