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: | HYDROCARBONS - TOTAL RESOLVED, CAS (CHEMICAL ABSTRACTS SERVICE) PARAMETER CODES and PCB, and other data from UNKNOWN in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea from 1979-02-05 to 1989-02-23 (NODC Accession 8900193) |
| Abstract: | The data in this submission consists of three files. It represents all
of the Caripol Phase I data spanning a period of 10 years on file at Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) as of July 1989. The data were submitted by Dr. Donald K. Atwood. These data were collected by many institutes in the United States, Caribbean, Central and South America. The data were collected in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. One file contains the data regarding amount of tar on the beaches. The data were collected from February 1979 to February 1989. Second file contains the dissolved and dispersed petroleum hydrocarbon data collected from November 1979 to February 1989. The third file contains the floating tar data collected from December 1979 to November 1987. |

| Supplementary information: | These data files are in NODC F144 format. This format is described at
http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f144.html and the codes used in this format are listed at http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f144.txt. 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.
