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: BLUElink Regional Australian Multi-Sensor SST Analysis (RAMSSA), daily, 9 km resolution for 2011-08-14 (NODC Accession 0078253)
Abstract: As part of the BLUElink> Ocean Forecasting Australia project (http://www.bom.gov.au/oceanography/projects/BLUElink/), the Australian Bureau of Meteorology has modified its pre-existing operational regional 1/4 degree resolution optimal interpolation SST analysis system to produce 1/12 degree resolution, daily SST analyses over the Australian region (20N - 70S, 60E - 170W). The new Regional Australian Multi-Sensor SST Analysis (RAMSSA) v1.0 system combines SST data from infrared (AVHRR and AATSR) and microwave (AMSR-E) sensors on polar-orbiting satellites with in situ measurements from the GTS to produce daily foundation SST estimates, largely free of nocturnal cooling and diurnal warming effects.
