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: Profiles of temperature, salinity, and other measurements from CTD, XBT, and bottle samplers received from the Japan Oceanographic Data Center, collected 1935-2008 (NCEI Accession 0054093)
Abstract: Profiles of temperature, salinity, and other measurements received from the Japan Oceanographic Data Center, Hydrographic and Oceanographic Department as a submission to the WDC Silver Spring (IODE). The oceanographic data observed by research institutes in Japan as a part of the lODE activity promoted by IOC/UNESCO. An enclosed CD-ROM (transfer media only) contains following data. The data are sorted into specific folders by each institution. The institutes are:

1. National Institute for Environmental Studies STD, Serial Station (1995-2003)
2. Fisheries Experimental Station, the Government-General of Korea (before World War II) Serial Station (1935-36,1940)
3. National Fisheries University XBT, CTD (2003-2006)
4. Tohoku University XBT, XCTD (2008)
5. Mie Prefecture Fisheries High School CTO (2006-2008)
6. JAMSTEC (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology) OTO (2004)

Please note that we corrected some data which JODC had sent to NODC before. The corrected data is stored in a folder named as "updates". For the details, please refer to readme.txt in the folder (updates CTD, OSD, XBT, readme.txt)
