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: Chemical, laboratory analyses, physical and profile oceanographic data collected aboard the Ferrel in the Gulf of Mexico from 2010-07-17 to 2010-07-19 in response to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill event (NODC Accession 0069060)
Abstract: Chemical, laboratory analyses, physical and profile oceanographic data were collected aboard the Ferrel in the Gulf of Mexico from 2010-07-17 to 2010-07-19 in response to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Event on April 20, 2010, by the Subsurface Monitoring Unit (SMU), which consisted of multiple government and corporate agencies. These data include CDOM fluorescence, Semivolatile Organic Compounds, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH), Volatile Organic Compounds, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, hydrostatic pressure, salinity, sound velocity, temperature and water density. The instruments used to collect these data included CTD, bottle, fluorometer and oxygen meter along with other physical sampling devices. The CTD data underwent preliminary quality assurance and control procedures at the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC). The analytical chemistry data are provisional and provide results of onshore laboratory analysis of water and sediment samples. (NODC Accession 0069060)
