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: NRDA-processed CTD data from NOAA Ship GORDON GUNTER in the Gulf of Mexico, Cruise 1 Leg 1, collected from 2010-05-28 to 2010-06-04, associated with the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill event (NCEI Accession 0128071)
Abstract: Initial Conductivity Temperature and Depth (CTD) measurements were collected aboard NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter to determine water column stratification or other physical oceanographic parameters that will help determine depth of samples collected and further validate the model. The final product is a netCDF file (or series of netCDF files) containing every CTD cast that has been processed and quality checked. Note this is provisional data.
