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: | Real-Time XBT data assembled by US NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) for the Global Temperature-Salinity Profile Programme (GTSPP) and submitted 2016-06-27 - 2016-07-03 (NCEI Accession 0155289) |
| Abstract: | These data represent data collected from the Shipboard Environmental (data) Acquisition System (SEAS), a program developed by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to provide accurate meteorological and oceanographic data in real time from ships at sea through the use of satellite data transmission techniques. The system transmits data through either the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) or the International Maritime Satellite Organization (INMARSAT C) satellites to NOAA for use in weather, climatological and ocean models. NOAA is actively participating in an international effort to increase the number of subsurface temperature observations in support of global oceanographic and climate studies. NOAA's Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) program, SEAS, currently supports about 80 Voluntary Observing Ships (VOS). SEAS XBT data are archived by the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) on a weekly basis. |

| Supplementary information: | These data are processed and incorporated into the Global Temperature-Salinity Profile Programme (GTSPP) database. The data files contained the Ship Name "Cap Pasado" (Call Sign "V2DV4") which the NCEI was unable to find in the ICES Platform Code Database. The data files contained the Ship Name "BSL Limassol" (Call Sign "ELZY3") which the NCEI was unable to find in the ICES Platform Code Database. The data files contained the Ship Name "Tacoma Trader" (Call Sign "9V2401") which the NCEI was unable to find in the ICES Platform Code Database. |
