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: Oceanographic profile temperature and salinity data collected by instrumented marine mammals in the Southern Ocean, South Atlantic and other locations for the Marine Mammals Exploring the Oceans Pole to Pole (MEOP) project from 2004-01-27 to 2024-02-22 (NCEI Accession 0297525)
Abstract: Temperature and salinity CTD data from the Marine Mammals Exploring the Ocean Pole to Pole (MEOP) program. This dataset largely samples high northern and southern latitudes using instrumented (CTD) animals (elephant seals). There are several hundred thousand profiles in this data set which runs from 2004 to 2024. Data are in NetCDF. Downloaded from the MEOP database on 2024/08/12.
