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: | BENTHIC SPECIES and Other Data from GILLISS and Other Platforms from 19760614 to 19760902 (NODC Accession 7700456) |
| Abstract: | Data submitted by Dr. Gerald L. Engels. The data was collected between June 1976 and September 1976. This study was organized to collect Histopathology and Benthic data. SST, wave, turbidity, gear type (trawl v.s dredge), benthic species counts and weights were collected. These data are "megabenthic" species. The documentation describes instruments employed for sampling, units, and a detailed description of the record format. The original data on tape has been converted to current NODC storage format. These studies were part of the Mid-Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf Studies (OCS). These data were collected by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS). |

| 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.
