The Oceanographic Environmental Reference Service Retrieval Program Users Guide.
Abstract
Detailed instructions are presented for the retrieval of information from the Oceanographic Environmental Reference Service Data Base, which is accessed by the use of an interactive program. The data base is designed to serve as an inventory of oceanographic data collection efforts and an index to the data collected. Information available on cruises includes cruise number, platform name, sponsoring organization, dates, areas covered and scientist in charge. Data descriptions include position, depth of sample, sampling rate, quantity, measuring device, and points of contact for data retrieval. The data base can be accessed by cruise, data type, WMO area identifier, and world water body. Prompting statements guide the user in the selection of query responses for information retrieval.
