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: Sea Surface Temperature, 30W-135W and 65N-50S, at 0.05 degree resolution from GOES-12 Imager every 0.5 hours for 2007-03-24 (NODC Accession 0014918)
Abstract: SST calculated from the IR channels of GOES-12 at full resolution on a half hourly basis. In raw satellite projection, vertically adjacent pixels averaged and read out at every pixel L2P data products are then derived following the GHRSST-PP Data Processing Specification (GDS) version 1.5 available from http://ghrsst-pp.metoffice.com/documents/GDS-v1.0-rev1.5.pdf. Single Sensor Error Statistics (SSES) are provided based on the GDS-v1.5 specification.
