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: | Oceanographic temperature profiles from the HMS CHALLENGER in the Antarctic, North Atlantic and other locations from 1873-02-15 to 1876-05-06 (NODC Accession 0126754) |
| Abstract: | From 1872 to 1876, the HMS Challenger sailed around the world studying ocean features such as ocean temperature and chemistry, wildlife, and sounding the ocean, discovering undersea features like seamounts and ocean trenches. This expedition marked the beginning of the modern study of oceanography. The temperature and meteorology data were digitized from the historical cruise report at http://www.19thcenturyscience.org/HMSC/HMSC-Reports/1895-Summary/htm/doc.html. |
