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: | PRESSURE - WATER and Other Data from FIXED PLATFORM From NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) from 19761006 to 19770705 (Accession No. - 7900243) |
| Abstract: | The data was collected as part of International Decade of Ocean Exploration (IDOE) / combination of USSR POLYGON project and US MODE (POLYMODE) by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA. Water pressure, conductivity, temperature, depth (CTD) and other data were collected using tide gauge and CTD measuring instruments from Fixed platform such as WHOI buoys from NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) between October 6, 1976 and July 5, 1977 as part of IDOE/POLYMODE II-3. Data was submitted by Dr. Carl Wunsch. |

| 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.
