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: PRESSURE - WATER and Other Data from FIXED STATIONS and Other Platforms From Coastal Waters of California from 19860101 to 19861231 (NODC Accession 8900198)
Abstract: These data summarize the data collected by the California Phase II OCS
Monitoring Program of the Santa Maria Basin done by Dr. Hyland from
Battelle Ocean Science and Dr. Lissner from SAIC spanning the period of
one year in 1986. As part of this program, physical, chemical and
biological data were analyzed to determine the impact of oil/gas
drilling and production. A description of bottom photograph data can be
found on a floppy under NODC's accession number 8900199 actual
photographs are not available. Originator's data was submitted on tape
which has been copied to current NODC data storage format.

Description of the data in the files follows. Files 8 and 14 contain
data location and sample codes for all files. File 1 of the originator's
tape contains carbonate and total organic data (TOC). File 2 contains
salinity, temperature and sigma-t data recorded using a CTD. Files 3 and
4 contain hard-bottom epifaunal data derived from the analysis of
photographs taken using a ROV and a description of the epifaunal codes.
File 5 contains grain size data. Files 6 and 7 contain data derived from
the analysis of infauna samples taken from box cores. File 9 contains
ph, shear stress and redox data derived from the analysis of sediment
samples taken from box cores. File 10 contains saturated hydrocarbons
derived from the analysis of sediment and pore water data. File 11
contains aromatic hydrocarbons from sediment and pore water samples.
File 12 contains trace metal (AG, AS, BA, CD, CR, CU, HG, NI, PB, V, ZN)
concentrations in sediments and pore water. File 13 contains data on the
activity of radioisotopes (PB 210, TH 228, TH 230, TH 232, TH 234) in
sediments. File 15 contains saturated hydrocarbons from tissue samples.
File 16 contains the aromatic hydrocarbons from tissue samples. File 17
contains trace metal (AG, AS, BA, CD, CR, CU, HG, NI, PB, V, ZN)
concentrations in tissue samples. File 18 contains data on the
concentration of 2 to 5-ring aromatic hydrocarbons from sediment
samples. File 19 contains water quality data collected using bottle
casts. The parameters reported are dissolved oxygen (DO) nitrate,
nitrite, PH, phosphate, salinity and silicate. Sample locations and
codes can be found in files 8 and 14.

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.
