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: | Ocean station data from the Responsible National Oceanographic Data Center for the Southern Oceans (RNODC/SOC) from MULTIPLE SHIPS from 1991-01-06 to 1999-12-21 (NCEI Accession 9700045) |
| Abstract: | This dataset includes profile data file submitted to NODC by the Argentine Oceanographic Data Center, the Responsible National Oceanographic Data Center for the Southern Oceans (RNODC/SOC). During 1995, RNODC/SOC's Master File was enhanced with the addition of the physical-chemical data obtained in 19 research cruises during the development of the BIOMASS program from 1981 to 1985 carried out by the following countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, United Stares, France, Germany, Japan, Poland, Russian Federation and South Africa. By the end of the data reception period, the total of oceanographic stations recorded in files is of 13,919, corresponding to 348 research cruises carried out in the Southern Oceans (South 50º Lat. S) and reported to the Responsible Center. The file format is NODC Oceanographic Station Data (SD2) format. The SD2 file format is used for physical-chemical oceanographic data recorded at discrete depth levels. Most of the observations were made using multi-bottle Nansen casts or other types of water samplers. A small amount (about 5%), were obtained using electronic CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) or STD (salinity-temperature-depth) recorders. The CTD/STD data were reported to NODC at depth levels equivalent to Nansen cast data, however, and have been processed and stored the same as the Nansen data. Cruise information, position, date and time are reported for each station. Each station contains the measurements taken at observed depth levels, but also includes data values interpolated to a set of standard depth levels. |

| 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.
