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: | Air temperature, barometric pressure, sea surface temperature and other data from drifting buoys in the Caribbean Sea, Indian Ocean and others from 1997-04-01 to 1997-04-30 (NODC Accession 9700092) |
| Abstract: | This accession contains drifting buoy data collected from 1997-04-01 to 1997-04-30 from buoys deployed by National Data Buoy Center, Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. Air temperature, barometric pressure, sea surface temperature, water depth, wind direction and wind speed data were collected in the Caribbean Sea, Indian Ocean, Mozambique Channel, North Atlantic Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, South Atlantic Ocean and South Pacific Ocean as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) project. The data were processed by NODC and are currently available in NODC F156 Drifting Buoy Data file format. |

| Supplementary information: | These data files are in NODC F156 format. Documentation of this format and the codes used in this format are available in the about/ directory of this accession. 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.
