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: Temperature profile data collected using BT and XBT casts in the North/South Atlantic Ocean and North/South Pacific Ocean from NOAA Ship MALCOLM BALDRIGE and other platforms from 1987-12-10 to 1989-08-31 (NODC Accession 9000047)
Abstract: The water temperature and depth data were collected as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) project. The data was collected using multiple ships between December 1987 and August 1989 by Atlantic Oceanographic Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), Miami, FL. The data containing 2,116 observations was submitted by Dr. Donald V. Hansen. The data has been processed by NODC and is currently available in C116 Bathythermograph XBT format.

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, the NODC reviews metadata for all
accessions on an ongoing basis.
