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: Profile and laboratory analyses data collected in the North Atlantic Ocean on the OCEANUS cruises WB0409, WB0413, WB0506, and WB0508 as part of the EDDIES project from 2004-06-24 to 2005-08-25 (NCEI Accession 0086575)
Abstract: This dataset contains laboratory analyses and profile data collected on OCEANUS in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2004-06-24 to 2005-08-25. The instruments used to collect these data include Niskin Bottle. These data were collected by Kenneth O. Buesseler of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the EDDIES project(s). The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NODC on 2011-12-31.

The following is the text of the abstract provided by BCO-DMO:
