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: Daily L4 Optimally Interpolated SST (OISST) AVHRR and AMSR-E Analysis for 2006-07-31 (NODC Accession 0030745)
Abstract: L4 sea surface temperature analysis produced daily at the NOAA National Climatic Data Center using optimal interpolation from AVHRR Pathfinder Version 5 data (http://pathfinder.nodc.noaa.gov) (when available, otherwise operational AVHRR data are used), AMSR-E, and in situ ship and buoy observations. A second similar product is available back to 1985 that includes only the in situ and AVHRR Pathfinder data to avoid a jump in the analysis and to provide the longest, most consistent time series. This product uses the microwave-based AMSR-E data starting in June of 2002, which are capable of observing through clouds. The OI analysis is a daily average SST that is bias adjusted using a spatially smoothed 7-day in situ SST average. Both day and night satellite fields are independently adjusted. More information is available at http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/sst/oi-daily.php.
