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: Water temperature, acoustic travel time, pressure and currents taken by current and pressure recording inverted echo sounders as part of QUICCHE in the Southeast Atlantic Ocean (limit-20 W) from 2023-03-17 to 2024-04-03 (NCEI Accession 0301731)
Abstract: The goal of QUantifying Interocean fluxes in the Cape Cauldron Hotspot of Eddy kinetic energy (QUICCHE) was to observe mixing and stirring in the Cape Basin in the southeast Atlantic Ocean across time and space scales ranging from seconds to months and from centimeters to tens of kilometers using a variety of sensors and platforms. As part of QUICCHE, two inverted echo sounders equipped with bottom pressure gauges and current meters (CPIES) were deployed at sites designated CP01 and CP02 at 4676 and 4895 m depth respectively, from March 2023 to April 2024. The CPIES data are the highest quality versions with the least amount of processing. The collection and processing of the data are described in the report provided. Data are in NetCDF.
