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: Historical water temperature profiles collected by max-min thermometer from the HMS Challenger over the Global Ocean from 1873-2-15 to 1876-5-06 (NCEI Accession 0178641)
Abstract: This dataset contains historical water temperature profiles collected over the Global Ocean from the HMS Challenger from 1873-2-15 to 1876-5-06. For comparisons, the World Ocean Circulation Experiment modern-day ocean temperature climatology is included at observation sites. These data are supplementary data for Gebbie & Huybers manuscript "The Little Ice Age and 20th Century Deep Pacific Cooling" published in the Science magazine. Data are in CSV format.
