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: | Merged One Data File from WOD/MBT Temperature Profiles (1938-2017) (NCEI Accession 0173339) | 
      
| Abstract: | The world ocean database (WOD) contains 2,353,142 MBT temperature profiles with the one-to-one data structure, i.e., one file is for one MBT temperature profile. From practical point of view, it is hard to access such huge number of files for data analysis and data assimilation. To make the WOD data easy to use, we merged the WOD/MBT data into one file: MBTall.nc. The MATLAB codes to get the profiles are also developed |
