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: WATER TEMPERATURE and other data from NEDLLOYD MADRAS in the NE Pacific from 1990-10-12 to 1990-12-16 (NCEI Accession 9100022)
Abstract: The water depth and temperature data was collected from ship NEDLLOYD MADRAS in NE Pacific (limit-180) from October 12, 1990 to December 16, 1990. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data was collected as part of Shipboard Environmental data Acquisition System (SEAS) III program and was submitted in a diskette by Mr. Paul Stevens of Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center, Monterey, CA. The data has been converted and is now available on line in C116 file format of NODC.

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, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
