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: | Turbidity, SOLAR RADIATION - ATMOSPHERIC and other data from GYRE from 1987-04-02 to 1995-08-30 (NODC Accession 9500157) |
| Abstract: | The accession contains archive of Texas A&M University (TAMU) Gulfcet CTD; XBT; and distribution and abundance of cetaceans (whales and dolphins) data collected along the continental slope in the north-central and western Gulf of Mexico. The data was collected over 9 years spanning from April 2, 1987 through August 30, 1995. 46 cruise data archive of TAMU hydrography asked for by Mike Crane was sent by Dr. Douglas C. Biggs. David Brandon sent Andrew Allegra GulfCet data as a companion data set. NODC agreed to put this data on a CD Rom (162856 x 512 = bytes). |

| 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.
