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 and temperature time series at depths of 340m from mooring M1 in Prydz Bay, Antarctica; March, 2013 - February, 2015. (NCEI Accession 0173518) |
| Abstract: | The objectives of US/Chinese Collaborative Study: Investigation of Bottom Water Formation in Prydz Bay, Antarctica are: (1) Document seasonal and interannual variability of water mass properties on the continental shelf and slope of Prydz Bay through an array of subsurface moorings and repeat CTD sections; (2) Investigate the atmosphere-ocean-ice interactions and shelf/slope processes that form bottom water; an (3) Investigate climatic impact on these bottom water formation processes. These data were acquired primarily in support to the program with the overarching goal to understand dynamic processes involving with formation and export of dense shelf water in the region. We are reporting ocean currents and temperature data (every 60 minutes) collected by a current meter at 340m as part of the mooring (M1) deployed on the shelf (545m) of Prydz Bay (67.20475S and 72.00696E). The mooring was deployed during the 2013 February CHINARE29 cruise and recovered during the 2015 March CHINARE31 cruise, on the R/V Xuelong. |
