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: Chemical and physical oceanographic profile data collected from CTD casts aboard the OCEAN VERITAS in the Gulf of Mexico from 2010-05-27 to 2010-05-30 in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill event (NODC Accession 0069092)
Abstract: Chemical and physical oceanographic profile data were collected aboard the OCEAN VERITAS in the Gulf of Mexico from 2010-05-27 to 2010-05-30 in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill event on April 20, 2010, by the Subsurface Monitoring Unit (SMU), which consists of multiple government and corporate agencies. These data include CDOM fluorescence, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, hydrostatic pressure, salinity, sound velocity, temperature and water density. The instruments used to collect these data were CTD, fluorometer and oxygen meter. These data have undergone quality assurance and control procedures to validate their scientific integrity at the National Coastal Data Development Center. (NODC Accession 0069092)
