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: Delayed XBT data assembled for the Global Temperature-Salinity Profile Programme (GTSPP) and processed 2003-12-08 - 2003-12-14 (NCEI Accession 0001265)
Abstract: XBT data were collected from MULTIPLE PLATFORMS from a World-Wide distribution. Data were collected by the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) from 18 December 2002 to 27 November 2003. Data were collected in support of the Global Temperature-Salinity Pilot Project (GTSPP), and the NOAA Shipboard Environmental Data Acquisition System Program (SEAS).

NCEI has determined that the name of the platform "HORIZON PACIFIC" as documented in the data files is incorrect. The data files document the platform name as "HORIZON PACIFIC" whilst NCEI has determined the correct platform name is "SEA-LAND PACIFIC". The data files contained the Ship Name "HORIZON HAWAII" (Call Sign "KIRF") which NCEI was unable to find in the ICES Platform Code Database.
