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: Near-realtime oceanographic profile data collected by Floats from 20100524 to 20101206 as part of the GTSPP in response to the 20100420 Deepwater Horizon oil spill event (NODC Accession 0065725)
Abstract: Data products and in situ oceanographic data collected in response to the Deepwater Horizon Event in the Gulf of Mexico (May 2010). The Global Temperature and Salinity Profile Programme (GTSPP) received the near-realtime data as TESAC messages for these Floats from the Global Telecommunication System (GTS). The data are available in three formats, CSV (comma separated value), NetCDF (network common data form) and the GTSPP ASCII formats. An inventory file is available, including plots of each vertical profile. A .kml file is available for Google Earth display. This data collection is updated weekly by automated processes performed by NODC. Select the version of the data with the largest version number to ensure downloading the most recent data available from NODC.
