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: | ALTIMETER - CROSSOVER DIFFERENCES and Other Data from SATELLITE From World-Wide Distribution from 19861212 to 19870115 (Accession No. - 8700123) |
| Abstract: | This accession contains a listing of all the GEOSAT data. GEOSAT is a Geodetic Satellite carrying a radar altimeter which provides profiles of sea level. Parameters include: time, orbit, latitude/longitude, and sea surface height. These data were submitted by the U.S. Navy via National Oceanic Service. Corrections to the data include: tides, dry and wet troposphere, ionosphere, height bias, and spacecraft orientation. These are exact repeat missions (ERM) with a repeat period of 17 days. The data specifics can be found under: dnodc*trnstat.audit/ geosat. The following are the accession and reference numbers for all ERM GEOSAT missions: 9000022, L00442, 10/31/89-12/31/89, ERM 65-68; 8900276, L00423, 08/24/89-09/27/89, ERM 61-62; 8900253, L00418, 07/21/89-08/24/89, ERM 59-60; 8900229, L00408, 06/17/89-07/20/89, ERM 57-58; 8900208, L00406, 05/14/89-06/16/89, ERM 55-56; 8900163, L00402, 04/10/89-05/13/89, ERM 53-54; 8900145, L00401, 03/07/89-04/09/89, ERM 51-52.

| 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.
