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: Delayed XBT data assembled for the Global Temperature-Salinity Profile Programme (GTSPP) and processed 1996-05-06 to 1996-05-12 (NCEI Accession 9400147)
Abstract: This dataset contains 37 sets of data collected as part of Shipboard Environmental data Acquisition System (SEAS) III program. The cruises were conducted using 28 different ships. The bathythermograph (XBT) data was collected between July 20, 1993 and August 31, 1994. The data was sent from the cruise ships to the National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD via telecommunication. Data containing 2,785 observations was received by Melanie Hamilton in NODC via File Transfer Protocol from Chris Noe.
