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: PRESSURE - WATER and Other Data from UNKNOWN From World-Wide Distribution from 1985-01-01 to 1986-12-31 (NCEI Accession 9000026)
Abstract: This dataset contains the MOODS4 upgrade for the real-time radio bathythermograph message subset for data provided by Compass Systems, Inc. There are three files. File one is the corrected MOODS file which has been converted to NODC UBT format, file two contains Surface reports from MOODS4 and 1985-1986 annual message subsets. File three contains uncorrected subset of MOODS4 message observations. These data are in binary format.

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.
