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 the Brooks McCall in the Gulf of Mexico, Cruise 8 Leg 1, collected from 2010-06-17 to 2010-06-19, associated with the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill event (NODC Accession 0130014)
Abstract: Conductivity Temperature and Depth (CTD) measurements were collected aboard the R/V Brooks McCall, Cruise 08, to determine physical oceanographic parameters of the water column, and in some cases used to help guide sample collection as part of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill sampling effort. Temperature, conductivity/salinity, depth, dissolved oxygen, and fluorometry data were collected onboard the Brooks McCall, Cruise 08. The final product is a series of NetCDF files containing every CTD cast that has been processed and quality checked.
