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 meter continuous observations in the mouth of the Amazon river collected by the Almirante Saldanha from 1970-09-10 to 1980-10-27 (NCEI Accession 8600320) |
| Abstract: | Current meter and temperature profile data were collected using moored current meter - PCM casts in the TOGA area - Atlantic Ocean from September 10, 1970 to October 27, 1970. Data were collected by Diretoria de Hidrografia e Navegação, Brasil, as part of the AMAzon Shelf SEDiment Study (AMASSEDS) project. This dataset was received on magnetic tape from the Directoria de Hidrografia e Navegacao (DHN, Brazil). Data was submitted by Luis C. De Freitas. It contains current meter continuous observations in the mouth of the Amazon river collected by the Almirante Saldanha in 1970. The data were collected using an Ekman-GM at 7 and 50m depth. |

| 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, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
