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 OLEANDER, YANKEE CLIPPER and Skogafoss in the NW Atlantic from 1993-02-06 to 1993-12-05 (NCEI Accession 9400024) |
| Abstract: | The water depth and temperature data was collected in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) from ships SKOGAFOSS, OLEANDER, and YANKEE CLIPPER as part of Ship Of Opportunity Programme (SOOP). The data was collected from February 6, 1993 to December 5, 1993. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data was received via telecommunication by National Marine Fisheries Service, Narragansett, RI. Data has been processed to the NODC standard Bathythermograph (BT) data format. The UBT (C125) format contains temperature-depth profile data obtained using expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Cruise information, position, date and time were reported for each observation. The data records are comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. Depths are selected by the originator - usually at standard horizons or some fixed interval. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles to depths of either 450 or 760 m. Special instruments permitted measurements to be obtained to 1830 m. |

| 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.
