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: World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) global data, version 3.0, 2002 (NODC Accession 0000841)
Abstract: The WOCE Global Data DVD suite consists of two single-sided and double-layered DVDs. A Web browser is required for exploring and accessing to their contents. The data on these disks cover most of the global ocean and are from the period of 1990 to 1998, the intensive observation phase of WOCE. Some data are included before and after this period. The WOCE data streams were: Bathymetry, Current Meters, Drifters, Hydrography, In-Situ Sea Level-Fast Delivery, In-Situ Seal Level-Delayed Mode, Profiling Floats, Satellite Sea Surface Height, Satellite Sea Surface Temperature, Satellite Surface Winds, Sea Surface Salinity, Shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers, Subsurface Floats, Surface Meteorology, and Upper Ocean Thermal.

Supplementary information: This dataset is, also, available from NODC on a two DVD set, entitled WOCE Global Data, Version 3.0, 2002. You may purchase one or both DVDs from NODC Customer Service (NODC.Services@noaa.gov). Note: The presentations given during the WOCE and Beyond Conference are archived here with this dataset, but they are not available on the two DVD set.
