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, temperature, conductivity, pressure, sigma-theta, and attenuation from Monterey Bay from platforms WILLIAM A. MCGAW, MCARTHUR, and POINT SUR between May 16th, 1995 and August 17th, 1998 (NODC Accession 0067571)
Abstract: The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary data were part of a large, multi-disciplinary experiment to characterize the Sanctuary's geologic environment. These data were used to generate a sediment budget for the Sanctuary that can be applied to the prediction of how sediments and pollutants move through the Sanctuary and how long pollutants stay in the Sanctuary.
