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: | Biomass data set documentation by the British Antarctic Survey from 01 November 1980 to 30 April 1985 (NODC Accession 9400053) |
| Abstract: | The purpose of this document is to explain the structure and contents of the BIOMASS data set is sufficient detail to allow the required data to be located and its format understood. The document is a detailed description of how the data set is organized and a summary of what data are present. It does not attempt to supply extensive detail about these data, but rather gives sufficient information to enable relevant data to be located along with any supporting documentation required. |

| 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.
