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: EFFLUENT - DISCHARGE DESCRIPTION and Other Data from FIXED PLATFORM and Other Platforms From NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) from 19800529 to 19840609 (Accession No. - 8600070)
Abstract: Effluent discharge was studied from fixed platform and other platforms
from NW Atlantic (limit-40 w) for a period of three years. The trace
metal concentrations were monitored in Outer Continental Shelf (OCS),
George's Bank Sediments from May 29, 1980 to June 9, 1984 by Dr. Mike
Bothner of United States Geological Survey (USGS), Woods Hole. Corrected
originators data was received via George H. The data in originators file
# 1 is miscellaneous grouping. File # 2 contains standard or regular
analysis. File # 3 contains fine fraction analysis. The data is
available in NODC F144-Marine Toxic Substances and Pollutants format.

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.
