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 FIXED STATIONS in the Coastal Waters of California from 1990-01-04 to 1990-03-15 (NODC Accession 9000235)
Abstract: This data contains the results from a Survey of Sediment Toxicity in San Francisco Bay. The data were collected around the bay from January-April 1990 and different bioassay techniques were utilized. The data were submitted by E. Long as part of the NOAA Quick Reaction Task Order NO. 55-DSNC-9-00004, Contract no. 55-DSNC-8-00142. The documentation includes the results of the survey, prepared by Advanced Technology, Inc. and Toxscan, Inc./Kinnetic Laboratories, Inc. These data are in Macintosh Excel Spreadsheet format are were copied "as is" to the vax level-A directory, L01015.001

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.
