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: | Salinity, temperature and water levels and other data from fixed stations in the Gulf of Mexico from 1933-07-01 to 1987-07-21 (NCEI Accession 8800149) |
| Abstract: | This dataset consists of volume discharges from the Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers collected by Louisiana State University from September 1985 to December 1987 as part of the MMS/OCS development and potential coastal habitat alteration. The sampling area was coastal Louisiana. Parameters reported are salinity, temperature and water levels. This work was funded under MMS contract number 14-12-0001-30252. The documentation includes the data format and site identification. More information can be found in "Causes of Wetland Loss in the Coastal Central Gulf of Mexico", Vol II: Technical Narrative, OCS study MMS 87-0120, R.E. Turner and D.R. Calhoun (eds.), Louisiana State University, 1988. This dataset also includes historical water level data going back to 1933. |

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, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
