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 JOHN V. VICKERS and Other Platforms From TOGA Area - Pacific (30 N to 30 S) from 1992-07-01 to 1993-06-30 (NCEI Accession 9600067)
Abstract: The accession contains Bio-Optical Profiling System (BOPS) data collected in TOGA Area - Pacific (30 N to 30 S) as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) and Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) International Project. The data was collected from ship JOHN V. VICKERS between July 1, 1992 and June 30, 1993. Data was collected by Center for Remote Sensing and Environmental Optics, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA. Data was submitted by David Siegel to NODC. Good format description accompanies the data.

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.
