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: Physical, nutrients, and other data from CTD and bottle casts from the North Pacific Ocean from 1991-02-19 to 2000-12-31 (NODC Accession 0000472)
Abstract: Physical, nutrients, and other data were collected from CTD and bottle casts from the North Pacific Ocean from 19 February 1991 to 31 December 2000. Parameters include water depth, temperature, and salinity. Parameters also include concentrations of chlorophyll, silicate, phosphate, nitrate, and nitrite.

A summary of 30 missions which sampled part or all of Line P between January 1991 and December 1999 is provided. Plots of mission tracks show the areas surveyed, participants are listed, and types of sampling, inventoried. A review of sampling equipment outlines the conversion from 1.7 litre Niskin bottles mounted on 5/32-inch wire hydro wire to CTD/Rosette cast sampling using 10 litre bottles. Missions which supported programs for World Ocean Circulation Experiment and Joint Global Ocean Flux Studies are listed.

A previous report contained observations for the period January 1980 to December 1989 and is found in Canadian Data Report of Hydrography and Ocean Sciences No.136, by Tabata and Brown.
