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: AIR PRESSURE and Other Data from MULTIPLE SHIPS and Other Platforms From South Atlantic Ocean from 1975-01-01 to 1993-12-31 (NCEI Accession 9400125)
Abstract: This dataset contains two sets of data collected as part of Integrated Global Ocean Service System project. The data was submitted by Dr. Adolfo J g Villanueva, Servicio de Hidrografia Naval, Secretaria de Marina, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

One file contains temperature and salinity data in TESAC format for the south Atlantic Ocean (south 20 degrees) assembled by the Centro Argentino de Datos Oceanograficos for 1975-1993. Data were originally recorded in D-base III; the documentation included describes the record format. Parameters include: cruise number, message number, date, time, position, wind, air temperature, depth, temperature, salinity, and current speed and direction.

The second file contains Expendable bathythermograph (XBT) data for the south Atlantic Ocean (south 20 degrees) assembled by the Centro Argentino de Datos Oceanograficos for 1975-1993. Data were originally recorded in D-base III; the documentation included describes the record format. Parameters include: cruise number, message number, date, time, position, wind, air temperature, depth, SST, and water temperature.

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.
