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: Real-time profile data assembled by Canada Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) for the Global Temperature-Salinity Profile Programme (GTSPP) and submitted on 2012-09-24 (NCEI Accession 0089334)
Abstract: This dataset includes near real-time global ocean temperature and salinity measurements taken by shipboard observers or automated instruments and received daily by the Marine Environmental Data Section (MEDS) of the Ocean Sciences Branch of Fisheries and Oceans Canada from the Global Telecommunication System (GTS) of the WMO World Weather Watch. MEDS applies the documented GTSPP quality assessment and duplicates removal procedures and forwards the quality-checked data three times each week to the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). At NCEI, the data are added to the GTSPP continuously managed database on the same schedule. These data may include data from Argo floats, OceanSITES, gliders, Ship of Opportunity Program (SOOP) XBT networks including participants from Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, and USA, moored buoys for PIRATA, TOGA TAO, TRITON, MARNET, GoMOOS, and NERACOOS, ice-tethered buoys, drifting buoys, and instrumented marine animals.
