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: SOUND VELOCITY and Other Data from FIXED PLATFORM and Other Platforms From NE Atlantic (limit-40 W) and Others from 19860512 to 19891112 (Accession No. - 9000121)
Abstract: The sound velocity and other data in this accession has been processed
by NODC from a tape submitted by the originator containing Inverted Echo
Sounder data from the R/V Endeavor cruise 205, October 1989. It also
contains data previously sent to NODC for the Seasonal Equatorial
Atlantic (SEQUAL) project for sites Sal and Sol. These data are in NODC
format for pressure gauge data (F017) and the format described in the
documentation. The file Sal represents observations from several
deployments (overlap of instruments) therefore there are duplicates in
the data. These data have been released by Dr. Eli Katz from
Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory. CTD data was also sent and can be
found under track numbers TV5152-TV5154. Data has been re-processed and
re-submitted on March 24, 1991. A01402 W18760

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.
