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: | Ocean circulation and other data from SUBSURFACE FLOATS from the North Atlantic Ocean and other locations as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) from 1984-01-17 to 1991-01-30 (NCEI Accession 9300182) |
| Abstract: | Ocean circulation and other data was collected from SUBSURFACE FLOATS from the North Atlantic Ocean and other locations. Data were collected from Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) and other institutions as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) from 01 January 1984 to 31 December 1990. Data are in the WHOI floater format and parameters include East-West current components (U), North-South current components (V), water temperature, and water pressure. |

| 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.
