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 measured by shipboard ADCP from global oceans-- the Joint Archive for Shipboard ADCP holdings from June 1985 (inception) to April 2001 (NODC Accession 0000455) |
| Abstract: | Absolute U- and V-component ocean current vectors from Shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (SADCP), as both a high frequency sampling (nominally 5 minutes with 8 m depth bins) and an averaged subset (hourly time and 10 m depth means), are provided for the global oceans. The depth range is typically from 20 to 300 m although recent technology has allowed penetration to over 1 km. The high frequency samples along with ancillary parameters are provided in the Common Oceanographic Data Assess System (CODAS) binary format. The standard (averaged) subset is stored in ASCII. This dataset represents the cruises acquired from inception (~1994) through April 2001 at the Joint Archive for SADCP, a collaboration of NOAA and the E.Firing ADCP Laboratory at the University of Hawaii. The data have been contributed by both US and international organizations. A total of 506 cruises on 50 ships (5.4 gigabytes) are included. This set was resubmitted from JASADCP on June 30, 2009, since the original copy at NODC encountered technical difficulties. |
