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: | Drifting buoy and other data from DRIFTING PLATFORM in the NW Atlantic from 1993-08-23 to 1993-12-06 (NCEI Accession 9400028) |
| Abstract: | The drifting buoy data in this accession was collected in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) between August 23, 1993 and December 6, 1993 as part of Physical Oceanography Field Program offshore North Carolina by Science Applications, Inc., Raleigh, NC. The project was supported by grant MMS # 14-35-0001-30599. The water depth and other drifting buoy data from 8 buoys containing 465 records was submitted in a tape by Dr. Thomas Berger has been processed by NODC and is currently available in F156 Drifting Buoy file format. |

| Supplementary information: | The publication listed below is related to the data collection and is available from the NOAA Central Library: Physical oceanographic field program offshore North Carolina : NODC ARGOS tracked drifter data submission : interim submission. [Raleigh, N.C. : The Corporation?], 1994. These data files are in NODC F156 format. 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.
