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: Total Microcystins, CHLOROPHYLL - EXTRACTED, and others in Lake Erie from 2013-07-15 to 2022-10-10 (NCEI Accession 0276941)
Abstract: Water samples were collected by charter boat captains and Stone Lab scientists in to track the water quality of Lake Erie. Samples were analyzed for chlorophyll a (an indicator of algae biomass), microcystins (a group of toxins produced by cyanobacteria), total phosphorus and nitrogen (indicators of maximum biomass potential), dissolved nitrate, phosphate, and silicate (nutrients available for algae), and total suspended solids (mass of all particulates in the water). Ohio EPA Environmental Education Fund and Surface Water Improvement Fund, Ohio Sea Grant, Ohio Water Resources Center, NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, the National Science Foundation, and National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences have sponsored the data collection.
