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: Quality controlled water, sediment, tissue, and tar/oil chemistry analyses from the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oils spill event in the Gulf of Mexico from 04/2010 to 06/2011, sourced from NOAA's Query Manager data management system (NODC Accession 0108924).
Abstract: This collection includes 4 data files (one each for water, sediment, tissue, and tar/oil analyses) containing data from the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) Oil Spill Event Response Phase. These data are the work of Federal agencies, state environmental management agencies and BP and its contractors. This dataset represents the culmination of a quality-control process overseen by NOAA and involving each individual data provider. These data were originally uploaded by the data providers into the EPA Scribe data management system (see Scribe Database Collection, this page), and later transferred to NOAA's Query Manager system for final evaluation by NOAA. The files in this collection are extractions from Query Manager. This dataset is considered to supersede the Scribe Database Collection.
