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: Index to Physical and Chemical Oceanographic Data of Puget Sound and Approaches, 1932 - 1975 (NCEI Accession 9100045)
Abstract: This Index is an update of the original INDEX published in 1970 (Collias, 1970). The principal additions to the original Index are the data obtained by a study of Skagit Bay for Seattle City Light (COllias, Barnes, and Lincoln, 1973), the study of the main basin of Puget Sound made for the Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle (METRO) (Collias and Lincoln, 1977) and a portion of the direction of Dr. T. S. English. This Index as well as the original 1970 Index (Collias, 1970) report only those data obtained by water samplying techniques. No attempt has been made to catalog observations made by the newer electronic instruments (i.e., STD's and CTD's).

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.
