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: Temperature and salinity profile data collected by drifting buoy and XBT in the Worldwide Oceans from 09 October 1997 to 31 March 2000 (NODC Accession 0000116)
Abstract: Temperature profile data were collected using moored buoy, profiling floats, and XBT casts in a world wide distribution from 09 October 1997 to 31 March 2000. Data were collected and submitted by Department of Fisheries and Oceans; Integrated Science Data Management with support from the Gulf of Mexico NOAA / NMFS Ship of Opportunity (SOOP), Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA), World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), and Global Temperature-Salinity Profile Program (GTSPP).
