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: |
Current speed data collected using drifting buoy in the TOGA area as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / North Pacific Experiment / Hawaii-Tahiti Shuttle (IDOE/NORPAX/HITIS) project from 07 February 1979 to 17 December 1980 (NODC Accession 8200021) |
| Abstract: |
This accession contains data from Drifting Buoys deployed during the Hawaii/Tahiti Shuttle Experiment between February 7, 1979 and December 17, 1980. Data consists of information transmitted from buoy in TOGA Area, Pacific (30 N to 30 S) to orbiting satellite and received by the Argos System of Centre Spatial de Toulouse. Typical parameters for these records are: platform number, julian date, time, location index, initial altitude and frequency, latitude/longitude, speed in degrees/day and transmission frequency. The original data submitted in three tapes in binary form have been converted to current NODC data storage format. |
