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 PISCES in the Gulf of Mexico, Cruise 12 Leg 1, collected from 2011-09-08 to 2011-09-15, associated with the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill event (NODC Accession 0130082)
Abstract: Conductivity Temperature and Depth (CTD) measurements were collected aboard the NOAA Ship Pisces, Cruise 12, Leg 1, 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 NOAA Ship Pisces, Cruise 12, Leg 1. The final product is a series of NetCDF files containing every CTD cast that has been processed and quality checked.
