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: Oceanographic Data from Multiple Platforms from 1870-07-22 to 1989-05-07 (NCEI Accession 9400170)
Abstract: This accession contains salinity/temperature/depth (STD) profiles and other hydrographic data, mostly in the Sea of Japan. More than a century of profile data from July 1870 to May 1989 were obtained by NODC from Igor Smolyar. Data was collected using 31 different Russian and/or Soviet ships along with few unidentified vessels by Russia, USSR. 71 data files were received by the NODC/Ocean Climate Laboratory as part of the Global Ocean Data Archaeology and Rescue project.

No digital format description is included with the originator data files. Undocumented FORTRAN code used by NODC/Ocean Climate Laboratory is included in the 0-data/software/ directory.

All records in "F12.2 format" containing 2,388 profiles were received by NODC from Daphne Johnson via File transfer Protocol.

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.
