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: Ocean currents measured by Shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (SADCP) 2007-07 to 2012-02 from global oceans accumulated at the Joint Archive (JASADCP) 2010-11 to 2012-07 (NCEI Accession 0093159)
Abstract: Absolute U- and V-component ocean current vectors from Shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (SADCP), as both a high frequency sampling (nominally 5 minutes with 8 m depth bins) and an averaged subset (hourly time and 10 m depth means), are provided for the global oceans. The depth range is typically from 20 to 300 m although recent technology has allowed penetration to over 1 km. The high frequency samples along with ancillary parameters are provided in the Common Oceanographic Data Access System (CODAS) binary format. The standard (averaged) subset is stored in ASCII. This dataset represents the cruises acquired from October 2010 through July 2012 at the Joint Archive for SADCP, a collaboration of NOAA and the E.Firing ADCP Laboratory at the University of Hawaii. The data have been contributed by both US and international organizations. A total of 157 unique SADCP sets on 13 ships (2.06 gigabytes) are included. Temporally, the cruises cover July 2000 to February 2012.
