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: Turbidity, SOLAR RADIATION - ATMOSPHERIC and other data from KNORR in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1977-11-22 to 1977-12-04 (NODC Accession 7800462)
Abstract: This entry contains the results from the Outer Continental Shelf Study (OCS) benchmark study in the North Atlantic which ran November to December 1977 from the R/V KNORR. These data were submitted by Energy Resources Co.,Inc. in fulfillment of BLM contract #AA550-CT6-51. This data contains eleven files with different file types and therefore different reference numbers. The following is a description of the files and a listing of the reference numbers: file 1 labelled L01001, L130 contains nutrients, temp., sal. and do data; file 2 labelled L00991, L513 contains %silt, %clay, %grain size, %carbon and %nitrogen in sediments; file 3,4 labelled L00992, L521 contains tax. code, counts, egg/larvae; file 5 labelled L00993, L134 contains metals in zooplankton, water, sediment, macrobenthos; file 6 labelled L00994, L131 contains lipids, hydrocarbons in water, zooplankton, macrobenthos, sediment, surface film and ; file 7,8,9 labelled L00995, L504 contains macrobenthic tax. codes and counts.

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.
