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: | Surface, zooplankton, chemical and physical data from ALMIRANTE SALDANHA and PROFESSOR W. BESNARD from 1961-09-15 to 1975-06-22 (NCEI Accession 7800334) | 
| Abstract: | This entry contains station data composed of surface, zooplankton, chemical and physical data submitted by Brazil's Diretoria de Hidrografia e Navegação (DHN). The Water depth and other data were collected from ALMIRANTE SALDANHA and R/V Prof. W. Besnard from September 15, 1961 to June 22, 1975. The station data has been processed and assigned track numbers 140076-140075. No format description is included. |

| 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, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
