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, salinity, and nutrient observations collected in the Mediterranean and Black Seas available as part of the MEDAR/MEDATLAS project, 1889-2000 (NCEI Accession 0000996)
Abstract: The MEDAR MEDATLAS DATABASE provides data and information compiled during MEDAR MEDATLAS II project and Inventory of hydrological oceanographic cruises carried out in the Mediterranean and Black Sea between 1889 and 2000.

The overall objective of the EU concerted action MEDAR/MEDATLAS (MAS3-CT98-0174 & ERBIC20-CT98-0103) was to make available a comprehensive data product of such multi-disciplinary in-situ data and information in the Mediterranean and Black Sea, through a wide co-operation of the Mediterranean and Black Sea countries.
