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 measurements in the Amundsen Sea, Nathaniel B. Palmer Cruise 09-01, 05 January - 28 February 2009 (NODC Accession 0071179) |
| Abstract: |
We are reporting ocean pressure, temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen data from 160 CTD/O stations occupied in the Amundsen Sea. These austral summer observations, most extending from within a few meters of the sea surface to a few meters of the sea floor, comprise the major portion of several related data sets obtained during cruise NBP09-01, from Punta Arenas to Punta Arenas, Chile. Additional sampling was undertaken for several geochemical and biological parameters, and ocean currents, along with continuous underway mapping of sea surface properties, meteorological variables and bathymetry. |
