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: Currents, pressure, temperature, conductivity, salinity, and attenuation measurements from the Lydonia Canyon Dynamics Experiment from platforms OCEANUS, LULU, and WHITEFOOT between October 24th, 1980 and November 11th, 1982 (NODC Accession 0054154)
Abstract: A major field experiment to determine the importance of submarine canyons in sediment transport along and across the continental margin. The experiment included extensive current and hydrographic observations, submersible dives, and sediment surveys.
