If you would like to view details of samples in a region defined by a circle around a particular spot on the globe go to the tool bar and select the CIRCLE<\/b> tool:\u00a0![\"Circle](\"https:\/\/www.whoi.edu\/corelab\/images\/selectcircle.gif\")
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nReturn to the map and click on the desired spot or symbol. A box will pop up requesting that you enter the radius you require in Nautical Miles. [Note: If you enter a very large radius, the generation of the sample details list may take a little while. Please be patient.] The samples that fall in your specified circle will be highlighted on the map and the detailed list will follow on a new page. Clicking on any data shown in hypertext [blue] on the list will produce further information. If you click on the Cruise number, a plot of all the samples taken on that particular leg of an expedition will be displayed. Click the PHY<\/b> [Physiographic Province] digit to see a list for code translation. If you’re searching the Dredge Analysis category where sample descriptions are summarized [6 columns of data], clicking the Alpha or Numeric code will produce a translation aid that will also identify the column heading code.<\/p>\n\n- \n
\n- The SELECT<\/b> tool:\u00a0
![\"Select](\"https:\/\/www.whoi.edu\/corelab\/images\/select.gif\")
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nproduces exactly the same lists and formats as the circle tool but operates in a different manner. Once you have clicked the select tool icon on the toolbar, you can inscribe a square or rectangular box on the map that contains the samples you wish to identify. To make the box, click once on the map to select a corner then drag the mouse to shape your box and click again.<\/p>\n
\n- \n
\n- The most capable of all the search tools is the QUERY BUILDER<\/b>:\u00a0
![\"Query](\"https:\/\/www.whoi.edu\/corelab\/images\/query.gif\")
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n- \n
\n- Click on the hammer to pop up the Query a Layer<\/b> window.<\/li>\n
- Select a sample type. This will produce a list of fields which you can use to create your query.<\/li>\n
- If you have a simple query like “all cores taken from the Atlantis II” you can compose this by choosing cores<\/b> as your sample type then double clicking SHIP<\/b>, double clicking = , click Get Values<\/b>, double click AII from the Values list below then click OK<\/b>. The results window will pop up [again this may not be instantaneous] and the samples that meet your criteria will be highlighted on the map. As before you can get more elaborate information by clicking on hypertexted values on the ‘results’ list. Note that the proper SYNTAX for the query formula is:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n([FIELD]<\/b> LOGICAL CONDITION VALUE<\/b>)where field<\/b> and value<\/b> appear exactly as they do in the lists above the query formula window.\nExamples:<\/p>\n
([Ship] = “AII”)<\/b>or<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/p>\n
\n- \n
\n- If you need to compose a more complex query formula, you’ll have to type into the box manually. The bug mentioned above creates a slight format glitch if you try to double click entire complex formulas. Composing a compound query is not difficult. Just follow the examples below:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\nSAMPLE TYPE – CORES<\/u>([Depth] > 3000)<\/b> and ([Psed] = “CO”)<\/b>\n <\/p>\n
\n- \n
This would select all cores with a Primary sediment type of Calc Ooze in water depths greater than 3000 meters.<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n([Device] = “PC”)<\/b> and ([Physio] = 10)<\/b> <\/p>\n\n- \n
This formula would find all samples taken with a piston corer located in Abyssal plains around the globe. Note that the values for physiographic province and all other coded fields can be found in the<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n- \n
which can be reached by clicking:<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\nOne final suggestion: when changing fields on the Map, take one step at a time for best results. For instance, if you want to change from cores to dredge analysis, turn off the core plots by clicking the box, let the map refresh, then turn on the dredge data. This will keep the mapserver happy and help insure a better exploration experience for you. Your comments and suggestions are welcome

<\/a>How you select and browse the samples in the device specific fields will depend on your search criteria. If your needs involve a specific region of the world ocean, you can use these Zoom and Pan tools to navigate to the area you require.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.whoi.edu\/corelab\/images\/iconzoomin.gif\")
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0![\"Zoom](\"https:\/\/www.whoi.edu\/corelab\/images\/iconzoomout.gif\")

[Remember to click on the tool bar icon you’re using first. This tool will stay “attached” or active on your mouse pointer until you click the icon again, or select another tool.] The Zoom-in tool works in 2 ways: a quick 2X zoom takes place if you click on a spot on the map, or you can click and drag a box [any corner first] around the stations that are of interest to you. To help you keep you bearings when zooming and panning , note that the arrow of you mouse pointer is constantly annotating Longitude and Latitude in the lower left corner of the big window adjacent to the rotating earth icon. Longitude is listed first [- means West] and then Latitude [- means South]. This function works at all levels of zoom.<\/p>\n![\"Identify](\"https:\/\/www.whoi.edu\/corelab\/images\/iconidentify.gif\")
