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 NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) and Others from 19751027 to 19760902 (Accession No. - 7700472) |
| Abstract: | Microbenthic data was collected by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) as part of the BLM/OCS Mid (NE) Atlantic program. The data were collected from the R/V W. PIERCE from February to March 1976. The data was collected to study the Benthic organisms. Benthic species were counted and benthic taxa were identified. These data were submitted by Dr. Gerald L. Engel. The measurements included station depth; surface and sediment temperature in degrees centigrade; wind speed and direction; wave/swell height and direction; instrumentation; penetration depth; gear type; sediment core dimensions (width and penetration depth in centimeters); depth of sediment corer penetration; cloud cover and turbidity. The documentation includes a detailed record format. Data were originally filed in a VIMS format tape has been converted into current NODC data storage format. |

| 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.
