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: |
Temperature and salinity profile data from globally distributed Argo profiling floats through the month of December 2010 for the Global Argo Data Repository, 1968-05-22 to 2010-12-31 (NODC Accession 0042682) |
| Abstract: |
These data represent all data collected from Argo profiling floats through the current month (March 2010). Because this data collection is updated each month, selecting the version of the data with the largest version number will ensure that the data user is downloading the most recent month of data available from NODC. The U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) operates the Global Argo Data Repository (GADR) as the long-term archive for the International Global Argo Project (for additional information about Argo, see http://www.argo.ucsd.edu/ (last accessed Apr 01 2010)). Argo data archived by the US NODC on a weekly basis starting the second quarter of FY 2003, may include real-time and/or delayed-mode profiles of ocean temperature and salinity, as well as related conductivity and/or pressure measurements (if any), collected by Argo profiling floats. |
