Through the Oceans 3.0 Data Search interface it is possible to find and download any type of data contained within the Oceans 3.0 archive. But this happens through a browser-based interface. You can also access data via code, getting away from the browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) entirely. 

Oceans 3.0 has a suite of web services for programmatic access to the data. These web services have discovery services to identify instruments and deployments, retrieve time-series data streams, and request and download data products.

If you need to download a large number of files, Oceans 3.0 API (Application Programming Interface) is the fastest way get your data.
