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 and surface meteorological data collected from station USF-COMPS-ARP by University of South Florida (USF) and assembled by Gulf of America Coastal Ocean Observing System (GCOOS) in the Coastal Waters of Florida from 2008-01-29 to 2023-09-09 (NCEI Accession 0306424)
Abstract: This dataset contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected by University of South Florida (USF) from their in-situ moored station USF-COMPS-ARP, Aripeka, FL (ARPF1), in the Coastal Waters of Florida. The data files are in netCDF format, following the Climate and Forecast metadata convention (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD). GCOOS, which assembles data from University of South Florida (USF) and other sub-regional coastal and ocean observing systems of the Gulf of America coastal United States, submitted the data to NCEI as part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers (IOOS DACs) Data Stewardship Program.
