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: | SAMOS project underway oceanographic and quality-controlled meteorological data collected aboard the Nancy Foster from 2011-09-01 to 2011-09-30 (NCEI Accession 0078552) | 
      
| Abstract: | The data logging system on the Nancy Foster recorded underway oceanographic and meteorological data from various instruments while cruising in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean from 2011-09-01 to 2011-09-30. During this period, as part of the Shipboard Automated Meteorological and Oceanographic System (SAMOS) project, the data logging system sent the data daily via e-mail to Florida State University (FSU), where the Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) quality-controlled (QCed) the meteorological data. COAPS submitted four versions of the data to the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI): the original data e-mailed by the data logging system, first-level (automatically and merged) QCed data, and second-level (visually) QCed data. NCEI Accession 0078552 contains all these data. |
