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: Temperature, salinity, and sigma-t profiles from CTD casts from the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas from NOAA Ship OCEANOGRAPHER and other platforms as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) the and Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (FOCI) from 1981-09-04 to 1987-09-16 (NCEI Accession 9900072)
Abstract: Temperature, salinity, and sigma-t profiles were collected from CTD casts in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas from NOAA Ship OCEANOGRAPHER and other platforms from 04 September 1981 to 16 September 1987. Data were collected by the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) and the Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (FOCI).

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.
