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: DEPTH - OBSERVATION and Other Data from UNKNOWN PLATFORMS and Other Platforms From North Atlantic Ocean and Others from 19800125 to 19851218 (Accession No. - 8700111)
Abstract: This accession contains archived data of Seasonal response of the
Equatorial Atlantic (SEQUAL) data collected by various American
investigators. Current moorings, in situ wind recorders, inverted echo
sounders and near surface drifters were deployed along the equatorial
Atlantic Ocean from January 1980 to to October 1985. All of these data
is available in NODC file format. Current meter data is in F015 format.
CTD data is in F022 format. Wind data is in F101 format. Drifting buoy
data is in F156 format. The following is a brief description of the
originator's files and their associated reference numbers.

SEQUAL-1: files 1-11 - L00321 - L00331; L105; current meter
(current components, temperature)
Richardson (Principal Investigator); data archived as F015 TT9318-TT9328.
files 12-42 - L00100 - L00130; L156; drifting buoy
(temperature, wind speed, position)
Richardson (Principal Investigator); archived as TT9368-TT9398.
files 43-53 - L00282; L129; CTD
(temperature and salinity vs. depth)
Perkins (Principal Investigator); archived as TT8190.

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.
