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: | Thermistor data at 10 cm intervals in air, ice, water from autonomous buoys from ARSV Laurence M. Gould LMG0106 in the Southern Ocean, August to November, 2001 (SOGLOBEC project) (NCEI Accession 0277335) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains physical data collected on ARSV Laurence M. Gould during cruise LMG0106 from 2001-08-06 to 2001-10-11. These data include water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Drifter Buoy. These data were collected by Dr Chris H. Fritsen of Desert Research Institute and Daniel P. Costa of University of California-Santa Cruz as part of the "U.S. GLOBEC Southern Ocean (SOGLOBEC)" project and "U.S. GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: Thermistor data at 10 cm intervals in air, ice, water from autonomous buoys, Aug. - Nov. 2001 Dataset Description: Related datasets: Autonomous buoy position data, Aug. - Nov. 2001 Air temperature and barometric pressure results from autonomous buoys, Aug. - Nov. 2001 Radiometer data from autonomous buoy 07949, Aug. - Nov. 2001 |

| Supplementary information: | Acquisition Description: During the July-September 2001 Southern Globec cruises of the Palmer and Gould we installed four buoys. Two of the buoys (07413, 07440) were standard off-the-shelf Met-Ocean Ice buoys (see above photograph). These buoys measured barometric pressure, air temperature, and GPS position. The data were transmitted via ARGOS. A radar reflector was mounted on a wooden 4 x 4 to help find the site if there was an opportunity to return, however the reflector return was difficult to discern among all the backscatter clutter caused by deformed ice and icebergs. The other two buoys (07949, 07950) were custom made CRREL ice mass balance buoys (photo on right). These buoys reported barometric pressure, Argos position, and air temperature. In addition they had a thermistor string that measured a vertical profile of temperature, at 10 cm spacing, from the air, through the snow and ice, and into the upper ocean. There were acoustic sensors measuring the positions of the snow surface and ice bottom. A fluorometer was mounted under the ice. One of the buoys (07949) had three spectroradiometers; one mounted about the ice, one mounted directly below the ice, and one a few meters deep in the upper ocean. Results from all buoys are compared. Positive values are above the ice; negative values are in the ice and underlying ocean. Due to surface flooding and freezing, the position of the snow-ice interface changed during the measurement period. Tracks from all 2001 buoys: |
