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

Supplementary information: Abstract
Data consists of a gray scale raster image, wavelength range from 540 - 560 nm (nanometers). It is a single layer from the original multispectral data set. The multispectral data were
acquired by the Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager(CASI)sensor.
Purpose
The gray scale image provides users with a base image that
registers precisely with the Intertidal Vegetation Inventory
1996, Skagit County and northern Whidbey Island, Washington
raster data set.

Supplemental_Information
(1) Washington State is divided into two State Plane zones,
north and south. The data set's coordinate values are reported
in Washington State Plane south. (2) Imagery was acquired during
periods of maximum intertidal exposure (0 mean lower low water
or below in most areas), and at times when sun angle would reduce
sun glint. (3) Detailed documentation of acquisition parameters
and processing methods can be found in Borstad (1997).

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.
