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 MULTIPLE SHIPS From NE Atlantic (limit-40 W) and Others from 19500831 to 19881231 (NODC Accession 9200060)
Abstract: This accession contains contains chlorophyll data collected from 1958-1988 using multiple ships. Marine pigments, productivity, and associated chemistry data were collected in NE Atlantic (limit-40 W) and NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) as part of the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS). This data base has approx. 12,000 stations in JGOFS format. Any particulars on the station data can be found in JGR-Oceans, 97:2279-2293; titled The Remote Sensing of Ocean Primary Productivity. Data was submitted by William Balch, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS), University of Miami. Also, these data have been copied onto CD-Rom at Goddard for distribution with the CZCS.

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.
