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: | Vertical-mean horizontal velocity from dropsonde floats in the Florida Current along 27°N from 2000-05-17 to 2015-10-15 (NCEI Accession 0161542) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains data from a free-falling "dropsonde" float making measurements of vertical-mean horizontal velocity in the Florida Current along 27°N from 2000 to 2015. This data was collected as part of the Western Boundary Time Series (WBTS) project. The WBTS project is funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and is run at the NOAA-Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory. |
