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: Cloud amount/frequency, TRANSMISSIVITY and other data from SEAWARD EXPLORER from 1990-11-23 to 1991-11-18 (NCEI Accession 9200140)
Abstract: The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and digital XBT data were collected as part of Florida Straits Physical Oceanography project. Data was collected from Ship SEAWARD EXPLORER. The data was collected over a period spanning from November 1990 to November 1991 under contract MMS 14-35-0001-30493. CTD data containing 138 observations was submitted in a tape by Dr. Evans Waddell, Science Applications, Inc., Raleigh NC in F022 file format. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD Hi resolution and C116 Bathythermograph XBT file formats 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.
