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: | Physical, chemical, and biological data collected in Weeks Bay, Alabama (June 1990 - May 2000) (NODC Accession 0116469) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains ten years of physical, chemical, and biological data collected during shipboard surveys in Weeks Bay, Alabama, between June 1990 and May 2000. Surveys consisted of up to 19 stations throughout Weeks Bay and just beyond its mouth in Bon Secour Bay. Hydrographic profiles and water samples were collected at each station. |

| Supplementary information: | This dataset is a comprehensive collection of data from nearly a decade of sampling within Weeks Bay, Alabama. Station locations and parameters of interest varied during the time period - not every parameter was measured at every station during every sampling event. Descriptive text for this metadata record came primarily from a technical report on similar cruises that occurred in Mobile Bay between July 1993 and August 1995. Water samples were obtained from 23-foot outboard boats operated by the Dauphin Island Sea Lab. PI: Jonathan R. Pennock and John Lehrter |
