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: BIOMASS, SPECIES IDENTIFICATION, SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - LIFE STAGE, TAXONOMIC CODE and species abundance tows data collected in the Gulf of Alaska on the ALPHA HELIX and WECOMA cruises HX201, HX203 and others as part of the NEP project from 1997-10-14 to 2004-10-08 (NODC Accession 0113956)
Abstract: NODC Accession 0113956 includes tows and biological data collected aboard the ALPHA HELIX and WECOMA during cruises HX201, HX203, HX205, HX208, HX211, HX215, HX217, HX218, HX219, HX223, HX225, HX228, HX230, HX231, HX234, HX237, HX239, HX241, HX243, HX246, HX248, HX252, HX254, HX257, HX258, HX262, HX263, HX267, HX269, HX270, HX272, HX276, HX279, HX281, HX283, HX286, HX292 and W0307A in the Gulf of Alaska from 1997-10-14 to 2004-10-08. These data include BIOMASS, SPECIES IDENTIFICATION, SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - LIFE STAGE, TAXONOMIC CODE and species abundance. The instruments used to collect these data include Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System (MOCNESS). These data were collected by Kenneth O Coyle of University of Alaska Fairbanks as part of NEP. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NODC on 2013-10-30.

The following is the text of the abstract provided by BCO-DMO:
