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: GHRSST L2P sea surface temperature from AVHRR for 2009-11-08 (NODC Accession 0060735)
Abstract: The production of these AVHRR L2P data is a NEODAAS activity in collaboration with the UK National Centre for Ocean Forecasting (NCOF). NEODAAS-Dundee acquires approx. 15 AVHRR HRPT passes per day over NW Europe and Arctic, each approx. 15 minutes duration. These are immediately transferred to NEODAAS-Plymouth where they are processed into SST products and converted to L2P.
