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: SEACAT CTD data of the Hawaii Undersea Research Program from 593 dives of the remotely operated vehicle and the submersibles Pisces IV and V during 1995-2012 in the North and South Pacific (NODC Accession 0116373)
Abstract: The Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory (HURL) was established by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the University
of Hawaii. Its mission is to study deep water marine processes in the
Pacific Ocean. The primary means of surveying are through use of the
Submersibles Pisces IV and V and with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV).
This datasets contains CTD data from a Seabird SEACAT instrument
mounted on the submersibles and the ROV from 593 dives. Sound velocity
profiles have been calculated for select dives. There were 17 dives
at the Cross Seamount in March-May 1995. The rest were during 2001-2012
in locations from New Zealand to American Samoa in the south Pacific,
and from the Line Islands to the Northwest Hawaiian Islands in the north
Pacific. The data have not been rigorously quality controlled. Use the
data with discretion. Please inform the HURL data management team if
questionable signals are encountered. HURL or NOAA are not responsible
for misuse of the data. Additional HURL CTD data during 1990-1999
are available in NODC Accession 0000807.
