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: | DEPTH - SENSOR and Other Data from DRIFTING PLATFORM from 19891201 to 19891220 (Accession No. - 9000035) |
| Abstract: | The data in this accession was collected from drifting buoys deployed as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) project in December 1989. The surface current measurement data was submitted by Mr. Eric A. Meindl of National Data Buoy Center (NDBC), Stennis Space Center, MS. The data has been processed by NODC and is available in the NODC F156-Drifting Buoy file 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, the NODC reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
