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: PRESSURE - WATER and Other Data from COLUMBUS CALIFORNIA and Other Platforms from 19940416 to 19941202 (NODC Accession 9500063)
Abstract: This accession contains 23 files of data collected as part of Shipboard Environmental data Acquisition System (SEAS) III program. The cruises were conducted using 16 different ships. The bathythermograph (XBT) data was collected between April 16, 1994 and December 2, 1994. The data from 1,458 XBT drops was sent from the cruise ships to the National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD via telecommunication and was submitted by Chris Noe to NODC.

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.
