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: | WATER TEMPERATURE and other data from USS O'BRIEN, CHANDLER and other platforms in the NE Pacific and NW Atlantic from 1991-10-07 to 1991-12-22 (NCEI Accession 9200070) |
| Abstract: | The data in this accession were collected in NE Pacific (limit-180), NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) from ships H. E. HOLT, CHANDLER, VIRGINIA, and USS O'BRIEN between February 7, 1992 and March 1, 1992. The real time data of water temperature at varying depth bathythermograph (XBT) was recorded in stripcharts by the US Navy. Radio logs are forms that contain time, weather latitude/longitude, vessel id, ship id, etc. These are radioed every two hours to some military center. One line per strip chart. Some strip charts have time /date /ship id /latitude /longitude annotated on the strip chart. Stripcharts and radio logs from 5 cruises and 209 traces were submitted by Mr. Paul Stevens to NODC. The XBT data from these stripcharts have been digitized and are 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.
