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 1996-05-20 - 1996-05-26 (NCEI Accession 9500063)
Abstract: This accession contains 23 files of data collected as part of Shipboard Environmental data Acquisition System (SEAS) III program. The cruises were conducted using 16 different ships. The bathythermograph (XBT) data was collected between April 16, 1994 and December 2, 1994. The data from 1,458 XBT drops was sent from the cruise ships to the National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD via telecommunication and was submitted by Chris Noe to NODC.
