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 ADCP, microprofiler, and thermistor casts from the MOANA WAVE from the SW Pacific (limit-147 E to 140 W) as part of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) and the Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) from 01 July 1992 to 30 June 1993 (NODC Accession 9600029) |
| Abstract: | Oceanographic data were collected from ADCP, microprofiler, and thermister casts from the MOANA WAVE from the SW Pacific (limit-147 E to 140 W) from 01 July 1992 to 30 June 1993. Data were collected by Oregon State University (OSU) as part of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) and the Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE). Format descriptions are self documenting and parameters include temperature, salinity, density, zonal and meridional currents, dissipation rates for turbulent kinetic energy and temperature variance. |

| 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, the NODC reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
