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: | CURRENT DIRECTION, CURRENT SPEED and other data from moored current meter arrays in the Georges Bank from 1995-06-07 to 1995-11-27 (NCEI Accession 9900074) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains data from six moored current meter arrays located on the northern limits of Georges Bank, June 1995 - Nov. 1995, including water temperature, salinity, current speed and direction data. The data were collected from Moored Arrays (C2, C2a, NECW, NECWa, NECE and NECEa) using Aanaderaa RCM current meters for the GLOBEC project by Dr. Peter Smith, Coastal Oceanography Div., Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. |

| Supplementary information: | The publication listed below is related to the data collection and is available from the NOAA Central Library: Seasonal and interannual variability of current, temperature and salinity off southwest Nova Scotia. [Ottawa : s.n., 1989]. 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.
