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: The International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) in netCDF format from 1700-01-10 to 1700-09-06 (NCEI Accession 0162374)
Abstract: This dataset contains observations of global ocean meteorological and oceanographic variables, such as sea surface and air temperatures, wind, pressure, humidity, and cloudiness, from many national and international data sources, including ships (merchant, navy, research), moored and drifting buoys, coastal stations, and other marine and near-surface ocean platforms. These observations have been merged to create the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) collected from 1700-01-10 to 1700-09-06. The spatial coverage is global and sampling density varies depending on date and geographic position relative to shipping routes and ocean observing systems. This is the netCDF version of the ICOADS Release 3.0 (R3.0), which is converted from the IMMA1 format. Useful metadata have been added in the global and variable attributes of each file to make the netCDF self-contained.
