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, salinity, and sound speed data collected by CTD
and XBT from the R/V Falkor in the NW Hawaiian Islands 2014-03
to 2014-06 (NCEI Accession 0137765)
Abstract: Physical parameters (water temperature, salinity, and sound speed)
were measured as high-resolution profiles at select locations and
times using CTD and XBT instruments on the R/V Falkor geophysical
mapping cruises FK140307 and FK140502 during 2014-03-07 to
2014-04-11 and 2014-05-02 to 2014-06-06, respectively. The CTD
was a Sea-Bird Electronics 911plus/917plus to a maximum depth of
1000 m and the XBTs were Sippican, Inc. Deep Blue Expendable
Profiling Systems to a maximum depth of 760 m. The CTD data are
available in the Sea-Bird "cnv" text files and the XBT in
NetCDF (COARDS/WOCE).

Supplementary information: Geophysical parameters were also taken on this cruise: multibeam,
gravity, and magnetics surveys. These data are archived separately
with NCEI (formerly NGDC).

Cetacean observations were also made by a trained observer.
These data were provided to NOAA Pacific Islands Regional Office.
