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: | Water depth and other data from AUSTRALIA STAR and other platform from 18 November 1985 to 08 September 1987 (NODC Accession 8700387) |
| Abstract: | This record contains the MOODS/MBT/Navoceano data. In 1987 the NAVY MOODS archive was being prepared for transfer to NAVOCEANO. Roger Bauer of Compass Systems and designer of the MOODS system turned over to NODC 2 digital files and approximately 4 boxes of computer listings and plots that identify MBT stations that should be deleted from our archives and stations that need TSP and DSP adjustments. The digital files reside on optical as Accession 8700387. The deletions (8700387.001) were performed. However the adjustments were never completed. After numerous conversations with Roger Bauer regarding the erroneous MBT calibration adjustments in our MBT archive, I requested from Navoceno a copy of all of their MBTs to replace the NODC's MBT archive. This request was made in Aug. 1992 and fulfilled with the shipment of 5 magnetic tapes. At the time Navoceano took over the MOODS data sets and the Navy archiving. The MOODS MBT archive had all of the corrections applied. Again nothing was done with these replacement tapes. Primarily because they lacked NODC identifying information that would enable an easy match with the observations in our archive. However, in 1994? NODC's decision to build a profile database (NODB) and the need for profile data by the Ocean Climate Lab (OCL) seemed to have solved the problem. All profile data went through the OCL quality control activities before being loaded into the NODB. These quality control functions included adjustments to the MBT profile for calibration depths and temps. Thus the MBT profiles in the NODB are NOT the same as those from the DAMUS archive residing on optical disk. Status of materials: The boxes of computer listings and plots are no longer at NODC. The five tapes from NAVOCEANO were trashed before the move to SSMC3. It should be borne in mind tha author of this note is unknown as of April 10, 2003.

| 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. Points of contact for this data set include: Contact info: Agency: US NAVY; SHIPS OF OPPORTUNITY PI: N/A Address:#204 address: 4640 Jewell St. city: San Diego state: California postal: 92109 |
