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: Quality-controlled sea surface temperature, salinity and other measurements from the NCEI Surface Underway Marine Database (SUMD) from the ARIANA, AURORA AUSTRALIS, and 23 others in the Andaman Sea or Burma Sea, Arabian Sea and other locations from 1994-01-01 to 1994-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0162839)
Abstract: This dataset contains data from the NOAA NCEI Surface Underway Marine Database (SUMD), formerly known as the NCEI Thermosalinograph (TSG) Database. The database was originally developed to facilitate understanding and access to a set of quality controlled in-situ sea surface temperature (SST) and salinity (SSS) measurements collected by thermosalinographs (TSG) in 2016. The database was later expanded to include surface underway non-TSG data, such as meteorological data from the vessel-mounted meteorological packages and data from Unmanned Surface vehicles, such as Saildrones and Wave Gliders. Data were surface in situ underway data collected by thermosalinographs (TSG), meteorological packages and other sensors from 1994-01-01 to 1994-12-31 from ARIANA, AURORA AUSTRALIS, and 23 others. These data are from multiple data assembly centers, including the Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS; TSG data from the Shipboard Automated Meteorological and Oceanographic System (SAMOS)), Institut français de recherche pour l'exploitation de la mer (IFREMER; English: French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea; TSG data from The Global Ocean Surface Underway Data (GOSUD)), Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory (AOML-TSG data) and NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). When duplicate data were found with different resolution, the data with the highest sampling resolution were selected. All data were converted to common netCDF format, following the Climate and Forecast (CF) and Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD) conventions and following the NCEI netCDF2.0-trajectory feature type. All data were processed using the same 11-step quality control procedures and criteria and flagged using a two-level flag system to provide a well-organized, uniformly quality-controlled high resolution surface underway dataset for the user community.
