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: Seabird Survey Effort Log from the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer NBP0103, NBP0104, NBP0202, NBP0204 from the Southern Ocean, 2001-2002 (SOGLOBEC project) (NCEI Accession 0112763)
Abstract: This dataset contains meteorological and physical data collected on RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer during cruises NBP0103, NBP0104, NBP0202, and NBP0204 in the South Atlantic Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, and Southern Ocean from 2001-04-29 to 2002-09-09. These data include cloud cover, ice_conc, ice_cover_type, precip_type, and visibility. These data were collected by Dr Erik Chapman of Old Dominion University and Dr Christine Ribic of University of Wisconsin as part of the "U.S. GLOBEC Southern Ocean (SOGLOBEC)" project and "U.S. GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23.
