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: Pentad Maximum and Minimum Data from Version 5.0 AVHRR Pathfinder SSTs (NCEI Accession 0207698)
Abstract: This dataset contains Maximum and Minimum Pentad Sea Surface Temperature (SST) fields based on the NODC/RSMAS AVHRR Pathfinder Version 5.0 data set. These files were created originally for use by the GODAE High Resolution SST Pilot Project (GHRSST-PP), a program now known as the Group for High Resolution SST (GHRSST). There are three sets of results here. The first set is based on the Pentad climatological fields. These files are found in the subdirectory "Climatology". A file called "README.txt" in that location describes the files. The other two sets of results are based on the daily Daytime and Nighttime Pathfinder data between 1985 and 2004 (2002 and 2004 are "interim" data while 1985-2001 and 2003 are full V5.0 data). For each five-day period, for example, Jan 1-5, all of the daily data corresponding to that range of days from all of these years is examined and the coldest, second coldest, and warmest SST values (with overall quality flag of 7 only) are selected and written to the HDF file. This process is carried out separately for daytime and nighttime data and the results placed in "Day_TimeSeries" and "Night_TimeSeries"
