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: | Eastward and northward components of velocity, water temperature, and conductivity collected from moorings in Southern California Bight from 1985-10-09 to 1986-02-07 (NCEI Accession 0166874) |
| Abstract: | The CROSS experiment was the first of several experiments carried out in the Southern California Basin Study between October 1985 and July 1990. Ten current meter moorings were deployed in a line crossing the Santa Monica basin from approximately 3.5 kilometers offshore in Santa Monica Bay to 60 kilometers offshore. Data submitted is from 7 moorings (C2A, C3, C4, C5, C5A, C6, C7). Data for the remaining 3 moorings (C1, C1A, C2) was previously submitted to NODC (accession 9800021). Current meters were a mix of Aanderaa (AA) and Vector Measuring Current Meters (VMCM) instruments. The AA meters measured speed, direction, temperature and, in some cases, conductivity with a sample interval of 20 minutes. The VMCM data (previously submitted, accession number 9800021) was sampled in 15 minute intervals. |
