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: | XBT data assembled by US NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) from 1983-01-01 to 1992-12-31 (NCEI Accession 9400224) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains data collected as part of Shipboard Environmental data Acquisition System (SEAS) II program. The cruises were conducted using multiple ships. The bathythermograph (XBT) data was collected between January 1, 1983 and December 31, 1992. The data was sent from the cruise ships to the Atlantic Oceanographic Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), Miami FL via telecommunication. The XBT data was received by Phil Hadsell of NODC via File Transfer Protocol from Ryan Smith of NOAA/AOML. In many cases the data are poorly documented and unprocessable. Two subdirectories have been created 1) "aomlsub" contains the original compressed and 'tar'ed submission; and 2) "nodcgroup" contains Phil Hadsell's attempt to group the data into meaningful files from the one file per XBT structure in the uncompressed submission. The original readme.txt has been put into both subdirectories to aid in the file name decoding. |

| 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.
