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: Quality-controlled sea surface temperature, salinity and other measurements from the NCEI Global Thermosalinographs Database (NCEI-TSG) from the FRANKLIN, METEOR and POLARSTERN in the Bass Strait, Coral Sea and other locations from 1989-07-20 to 1989-12-25 (NCEI Accession 0162833)
Abstract: This accession contains data from the NOAA NCEI Global Thermosalinographs Database (NCEI-TSG). The database was developed to facilitate understanding and access to a set of quality controlled in-situ sea surface temperature (SST) and salinity (SSS) measurements collected by thermosalinographs (TSG). Data were collected by thermosalinographs (TSG) from 1989-07-20 to 1989-12-25 from FRANKLIN, METEOR and POLARSTERN. These TSG data are from multiple data assembly centers, including the Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS; TSG data from the Shipboard Automated Meteorological and Oceanographic System (SAMOS)), Institut français de recherche pour l'exploitation de la mer (IFREMER; English: French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea; TSG data from The Global Ocean Surface Underway Data (GOSUD)), Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory (AOML-TSG data) and NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). When duplicate data were found with different resolution, the data with the highest sampling resolution were selected. All data were converted to common netCDF format, following the Climate and Forecast (CF) and Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD) conventions and following the NCEI netCDF2.0-trajectory feature type. All data were processed using the same 11-step quality control procedures and criteria and flagged using a two-level flag system to provide a well-organized, uniformly quality-controlled TSG dataset for the user community.
