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 currents 2004-2013 measured by Shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (SADCP) from global oceans accumulated at Joint Archive for SADCP from 2012-07 to 2014-11 (NODC Accession 0123302) |
Abstract: | Absolute U- and V-component ocean current vectors from Shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (SADCP), as both a high-frequency sampling (nominally 5 minutes with 8 m depth bins) and an averaged subset (hourly time and 10 m depth means), are provided for the global oceans. The depth range is typically from 20 to 300 m although recent technology has allowed penetration to over 1 km. The high frequency samples along with ancillary parameters are provided in the Common Oceanographic Data Access System (CODAS) binary format. The standard (averaged) subset is stored in ASCII. These data, collected from 2004-04-06 to 2013-12-23, represent the cruises acquired from 2012-07 through 2014-11 at the Joint Archive for SADCP, a collaboration of NOAA and the E.Firing ADCP Laboratory at the University of Hawaii. The data have been contributed by both US and international organizations. A total of 362 unique SADCP sets on 18 ships (7.1 gigabytes) are included. |
