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: Underway - surface, meteorological and other data collected in the North Atlantic Ocean on the SEWARD JOHNSON cruises SJ9505 and SJ9507 as part of the GB project from 1995-04-08 to 1995-05-26 (NCEI Accession 0101471)
Abstract: This dataset contains biological, meteorological, physical, and surface underway data collected on R/V Seward Johnson in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1995-04-08 to 1995-05-26. The instruments used to collect these data include Thermosalinograph. These data were collected by James P. Manning of National Marine Fisheries Service as part of the GB project(s). The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NODC on 2013-01-17.

The following is the text of the abstract provided by BCO-DMO:

Alongtrack sensor data from the 1995 R/V Seward Johnson GLOBEC Georges Bank cruises to the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank from April 8, 1995 to May 27, 1995 (GB project).

Seward Johnson Cruises: 9505 and 9507
Shipboard meteorology and sea surface measurements

These data are accessed under the the GLOBEC homepage-->data-->process-->{year}-->alongtrack
These are stored as single ascii files per cruise with several variables merged to one minute (interpolated) time steps.
The first column is the time stamp which, for Albatross convention, is "yrday0_gmt" which means, for example, that a time of "0.5" represents local noontime on Jan 1st.
We all understand this data (shipboard temp, salt, wind, etc.) should be treated as uncalibrated records and should not be used other than exploratory purposes.
