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: |
World Ocean Atlas 2018 (NCEI Accession 0176314) |
| Abstract: |
World Ocean Atlas 2018 (WOA18) is a set of objectively analyzed (one degree grid and quarter degree grid) climatological fields of in situ temperature and salinity, at standard depth levels for annual, seasonal, and monthly compositing periods for the World Ocean. WOA18 also includes associated statistical fields of observed oceanographic profile data interpolated to standard depth levels on quarter degree, one degree, and five degree grids. Temperature and salinity fields are available for six decades (1955-1964, 1965-1974, 1975-1984, 1985-1994, 1995-2004, and 2005-2017) and an average of all decades representing the period 1955-2017, as well as the "climate normal" period 1981-2010. Oxygen, nitrate, silicate, and phosphate, as well as calculated Apparent Oxygen Utilization (AOU), and percent oxygen saturation, are available in all-date climatologies over all available years. This accession is a product generated by the National Centers for Environmental Information's (NCEI) Ocean Climate Laboratory Team. The analyses are derived from the NCEI World Ocean Database 2018. |
