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: | CURRENT DIRECTION, ICE - MOVEMENT - DIRECTION and other data from DRIFTING PLATFORM in the TOGA Area - Pacific from 1991-02-01 to 1991-02-28 (NODC Accession 9100067) |
| Abstract: | The drifting buoy data in this accession was collected over a one month period from bouys deployed by National Data Buoy Center, Stennis Space Center, MS. The data was collected as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere project from February 1, 1991 to February 28, 1991. The water depth and other drifting bouy data submitted by Mr. Eric A. Meindl has been processed by NODC and is currently available in F156 Drifting Buoy file format. |

| Supplementary information: | These data files are in NODC F156 format. This format is described at http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f156.html and the codes used in this format are listed at http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f156.txt. 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.
