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: WATER DEPTH and Other Data from METEOR and Other Platforms From North Atlantic Ocean and Others from 19620603 to 19801120 (Accession No. - 8000152)
Abstract: Surface Temperature and Salinity data were submitted by BNDO. The data
were submitted to BNDO by France, USA, Brazil, Mexico and W. Germany.
The data were collected from June 3, 1962 to November 20, 1980 in the
Atlantic ocean by various ships. The ocean station data has been
processed by NODC to its current data storage format. The formats used
to record the originators data submitted to NODC are the April 1977 BNDO
format entitled "Le format 'Hydrologie Classique' Au BNDO" which is
included in the documentation.

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.
