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: BAROMETRIC PRESSURE and Other Data from NEW HORIZON and Other Platforms From NE Pacific (limit-180) from 1993-10-02 to 1994-04-12 (NCEI Accession 9500032)
Abstract: The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in NE Pacific (limit-180) as part of "Search for direct evidence of sulpher quenching of biomass...etc." project funded by NSF grant OCE 9203292. Data was collected from Ships NEW HORIZON, POINT SUR and WECOMA. The data was collected over a period spanning from October 2, 1993 to April 12, 1994. CTD data from 12 stations was submitted in three diskettes by Dr. Frederick Prahl of Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR.

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.
