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: WAVE DIRECTION and Other Data from UNKNOWN PLATFORMS and Other Platforms From South China Sea (Nan Hai) and Others from 19590110 to 19761231 (NODC Accession 8600383)
Abstract: The Peoples Republic of China, Institute of Marine Scientific and Technological Information provided NODC with historical oceanographic data. Two original tapes containing this historical data have now been converted to current NODC data storage system. Documentation includes station names, measured parameters, and the record format. One data set consists of coastal station wave data from about 1960 through 1976. 10 stations were sampled along the Chinese coastal waters. The second data set consists of coastal temperature and salinity data from January 1959 to 1976. 14 stations were sampled along the Chinese coastal waters.

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.
