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, salinity, and nutrients profiles from bottle, CTD, MBT, and XBT casts in the Arctic Ocean and other locations from the WALTHER HERWIG and other platforms from 12 May 1928 to 04 December 1999 (NODC Accession 0000517)
Abstract: Bottle, CTD, MBT, and XBT data were collected from the WALTHER HERWIG in the Arctic Ocean and other locations from 12 May 1928 to 04 December 1999. Data include temperature and salinity profiles. Data also include concentration profiles of oxygen, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, ammonia, and silicate. Data are in the standard Marine Envirormental Data Service (MEDS) format.
