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: | Microplastic concentrations in deep-sea sediments from Rockall Trough (Scotland, UK) collected aboard RRS Discovery on 2017-05-18 (NCEI Accession 0278002) | 
      
| Abstract: | This study estimated the concentration of microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5mm, reported in unit of pieces per g d.w.) in deep-sea sediments from Rockall Trough (Scotland, UK) on 2017-05-18. Microplastic data were collected aboard RRS Discovery using a megacorer. This dataset contains the results from all 90 deep-sea sediment samples, in a spreadsheet format. |
