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: SAMOS project underway oceanographic and quality-controlled meteorological data collected aboard OCEANUS from 2008-09-01 to 2008-09-30 (NCEI Accession 0100955)
Abstract: The data logging system on OCEANUS recorded underway oceanographic and meteorological data from various instruments while cruising in the Alboran Sea, Mediterranean Sea - Eastern Basin, Mediterranean Sea - Western Basin, North Atlantic Ocean and Strait of Gibraltar from 2008-09-01 to 2008-09-30. During this period, as part of the Shipboard Automated Meteorological and Oceanographic System (SAMOS) project, the data logging system sent the data daily via e-mail to Florida State University (FSU), where the Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) quality-controlled (QCed) the meteorological data. COAPS submitted three versions of the data to the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC): the original data e-mailed by the data logging system and first-level (automatically and merged) QCed data. This dataset contains all these data.
