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 profile data assembled by Canada Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) for the Global Temperature-Salinity Profile Programme (GTSPP) and submitted the week of 2008-09-29 (NCEI Accession 0045990) |
| Abstract: | The Integrated Science Data Management (ISDM) office processes oceanographic profiles reported for the world oceans in near real-time from the Global Telecommunications System (GTS) for the Global Temperature and Salinity Profile Program (GTSPP). These data also support the activities of the Ship of Opportunity Programme Implementation Panel (SOOPIP) and the WOCE Upper Ocean Thermal Program (WOCE UOT). The ISDM sends a copy of these data to the US NODC three times each week. The US NODC began archiving these data on a weekly basis in November 1990. Each weekly collection may include real-time profiles of ocean temperature and salinity, as well as related conductivity and/or pressure and meteorological measurements (if any), collected by expendable bathythermograph (XBT), drifting buoy, moored buoy, and/or profiling floats. |
