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: | Optical measurements of irradiance and fluorescence from ATLANTIS II and other platforms in NE Atlantic (limit-40 W) from 1989-04-18 to 1989-07-07 (NCEI Accession 9200160) |
| Abstract: | These data are optical measurements of irradiance and fluorescence collected during continuous long track surface measurements made on the Endeavor 168 Cruise between Reykjavik, Iceland and a 60N station. Data parameters include: position, incident par (400-700 nm) irradiance in μmol/sec/m2, and MLML incubator scalar par (400-700 nm) irradiance in μmol/sec/m2. Calculated rescale fluorescence (680 nm) values were also included; the relative units are equal to pigment amounts measured in mg/m3. These data were collected as part of the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS)/ North Atlantic Bloom Experiment (NABE) by Moss Landing Marine Laboratory, California. The Endeavor 168 data are contained two files: E198MLML.hor and E198sail.hor. A readme.txt file (MLML Tech Pub 90-1) overviews the data parameters and methodology. This research was funded by NSF grant OCE-8813568, and The Office of Naval Research grant # N-000-14-84-C-0619. These data are calculated optical measurements of fluorescence collected during continuous long track surface measurements made on the JGOFS Atlantis II Cruise 119.4 between the Azores and Iceland. Data parameters include: position, salinity, incident par (400-700) irradiance in μmol/sec/m2, MLML incubator par scalar irradiance in μmol/sec/m2, and rescaled fluorescence (685 nm) mg/m3. "Rescaled fluorescence" units are numerically equivalent to chlorophyll a concentrations in μg/liter. The Atlantis II data are contained two files: A1194.hor and A1195.hor. a readme.txt file (MLML Tech Pub 90-1) overviews the data parameters and methodology. This research was funded by NSF grant OCE-8813568, and the Office of Naval Research Grant # N-000-14-84-C-0619. |

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.
