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: Plankton, temperature and other measurements found in datasets OSD and CTD taken from the HUDSON, PARIZEAU, and other platforms in the North Atlantic, Coastal N Atlantic and other locations for the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study Canada from 1989 to 1997 (NCEI Accession 0000480)
Abstract: This report presents data sets collected as part of the Canadian portion of the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study. It contains sets of data, which are stored as text files in a number of different formats. Each dataset is accompanied by documentation which includes date and location, a list of the variables measured, a map of the sites where data was obtained, an explanation of the data file structure, and a data dictionary. Overall documentation about the Canadian JGOFS program, study methods, and contact information is also presented.
