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 and meteorological data collected from COLUMBUS ISELIN in North Atlantic Ocean from sediment sampler; 28 October 1975 to 05 November 1975 (NODC Accession 7601289)
Abstract: Physical and meteorological data were collected using sediment sampler and other instruments from COLUMBUS ISELIN in the North Atlantic Ocean. Data were collected from 28 October 1975 to 05 November 1975 by Virginia Institute of Marine Science in Gloucester Point with support from the Outer Continental Shelf - Mid Atlantic (OCS-Mid Atlantic) project.

Supplementary information: Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database
maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The
design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content
Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM).

Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information
accurately represents all available information from the legacy database
at the time that this description was created. However, proper
attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or
collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact
mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this
uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the
Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description.

To develop more accurate metadata, the NODC reviews metadata for all
accessions on an ongoing basis.
