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: Water temperature from XBT taken from the research vessel Italica in the Southern Ocean and Southwest Pacific Ocean from 2001-12-24 to 2001-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0173214)
Abstract: Vertical temperature profiles were collected from December 24th 2001 to December 31st 2001 from the research vessel Italica during an oceanographic cruise between New Zealand and the Ross Sea in the framework of the Climatic Long Term Interaction for the Mass-balance in Antarctica (CLIMA) project of the Italian National Antarctic Research Programme (PNRA) using Sippican T7 Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT). Used probes have a vertical resolution of 65 cm and a maximum nominal depth of 760 m. XBT launches have been interrupted in case of severe sea and weather conditions. This implies the presence of gaps in the sampling. The spatial resolution of the sampling ranges between 15 nm and 20 nm. All temperature profiles are quality controlled for consistency between adjacent profiles and through spike editing. Data are provided in TXT format.
