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: | WIND DIRECTION, pH and other data from VICTOR HENSEN, WALTER KOERTE and other platforms from 1969-07-02 to 1978-03-02 (NCEI Accession 7800871) |
| Abstract: | The accession contains data gathered over a period of nine years by various agencies from the US, Britain and Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). Data was collected between July 2, 1969 and March 2,1978. Multiple German ships such as ANTON DOHRN, GAUSS, FRIEDRICH HEINCKE, WALTER KOERTE, METEOR, VICTOR HENSEN and unknown platforms were used to collect the data. Water depth and other data were collected using a number of sampling devices such as bottle, BathyThermograph (BT), Mechanical BathyThermograph (MBT), meteorological sensors, Secchi diski and eXpendable Bathy Thermograph (XBT). XBT data collected by R/V METEOR between March 3-7, 1977 is included. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Bathythermograph (MBT) (C128) and Bathythermograph (XBT) (C116) formats. The C116/C118 format contains temperature-depth profile data obtained using expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Cruise information, position, date and time were reported for each observation. The data record was comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. Unlike the MBT Data File, in which temperature values were recorded at uniform 5 m intervals, the XBT data files contained temperature values at non-uniform depths. These depths were recorded at the minimum number of points ("inflection points") required to accurately define the temperature curve. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles to depths of either 450 or 760 m. With special instruments, measurements can be obtained to 1830 m. Prior to July 1994, XBT data were routinely processed to one of these standard types. XBT data are now processed and loaded directly in to the NODC Ocean Profile Data Base (OPDB). Historic data from these two data types were loaded into the OPDB. The C128 format is used for temperature-depth profile data obtained using the mechanical bathythermograph (MBT) instrument. The maximum depth of MBT observations is approximately 285 m. Therefore, MBT data are useful only in studying the thermal structure of the upper layers of the ocean. Cruise information, date, position, and time are reported for each observation. The data record comprises pairs of temperature-depth values. Temperature data in this file are recorded at uniform 5 m depth intervals. |

| 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.
