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: Zooplankton and other data collected from LONGHORN and other platforms in the Gulf of Mexico from 1974-12-04 to 1977-12-03 (NCEI Accession 9000183)
Abstract: These three tapes contain Ichthyoplankton data from the BLM/OCS South Texas Program. The data were collected from December 1974 to September 1975 on the R/V Longhorn. The data were submitted by Dr. John H. Finucane from National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in Panama city. This project was supported by contract no. AA550-CT6-17, Inter-agency no. 08550-IAS-19. These data used to be under accession numbers 7800506 and 7800032 but were never processed. They have now been consolidated under one accession number 9000183 and are available in F124-Zooplankton file format of NODC.

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.
