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: Climatological Atlas of the World Ocean temperature, salinity, and oxygen data analysis, 1901 to 1978 (NCEI Accession 8300073)
Abstract: This dataset represents the result of objective analyses performed on a one-degree latitude-longitude grid at a number of surfaces of constant depth in the world ocean. This dataset supported the production of "Climatological Atlas of the World Ocean", by Syd Levitus, NOAA Professional Paper No. 13.

GFDLA - Annual Temperature and Salinity
GFDLB - Annual Oxygen and Oxygen Saturation
GFDLC - Winter and Spring Temperature

Supplementary information: Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM).

Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description.

To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
