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: SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE and Other Data from UNKNOWN and Other Platforms From TOGA Area - Atlantic from 19640101 to 19851231 (Accession No. - 8700150)
Abstract: CTD, nansen, current profile, pressure gauge, meteorology, current
meter, and surface drifter data were collected by French investigators
along the Equatorial Atlantic from July 1981 to December 1985 on the
French ships N.O. NIZERY and CAPRICORNE. All of these data have been
archived in the NODC file formats C100-Ocean Station Data, F015- Current
Meter data, F017-Pressure Gauge Data and F101-Wind Data respectively.
Francais Ocean et Climat dans l'Atlantique Equatorial (FOCAL) moored
current meter data contains current meter hourly averaged velocity
components and temperatures. These data were collected at 10 meters, 35
meters, 60 meters, 85 meters and 110 meters.

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.
