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: | Temperature profile and water depth data collected from HMAS DARWIN using BT and XBT casts in the North/South Pacific Ocean from 1983-02-26 to 1990-08-07 (NCEI Accession 9000267) |
| Abstract: | The data in this accession consists of 2,679 observations that were collected as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere project from multiple ships over a seven year period. The data was collected between February 1983 and August 1990. The real time data of water temperature at varying depth bathythermograph (XBT) was recorded in stripcharts by the Australian Oceanographic Data Center. Two boxes of stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC by Mr. Ben J. Searle. The XBT data from these stripcharts have been digitized and is present in the current NODC data storage system in C116 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, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
