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 UNKNOWN From Indian Ocean from 19060101 to 19891231 (NODC Accession 9100054) |
| Abstract: | Temperature profile data in the Indian Ocean from ORSTOM (France); 26,000 profiles from years 1906 thru 1989. Most appear to be derived from bathythermographs, although allowance is made for Nansen cast and CTD cast profiles. Data are to 500 m. These data are structured so as to be selected and plotted by the accompanying software. The data were received as a DOS backup on eleven 5.25 diskettes. These were restored to a pc hard disk and copied to current NODC storage media in 52 files. *Note: Data was originally held in IOSBT (Indian Ocean Subsurface Temperature), a database managed by ORSTOM (France). IOSBT is described as a "subsurface temperature database with the ability to gather data from different sources", i.e. NANSEN casts, XBT's, CTD's, etc. IOSBT was originally created to aid in research of the Tuna industry. The publication, "A presentation of the Indian Ocean subsurface temperature (IOSBT) data set" is included in the originator's documentation. |

| 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.
