I'm not exactly sure what the issue is, but interpol seems to work
fine?

readcol,'data.dat',depth,temp,salinity,pot_temp,density
thisdepth=findgen(300)*5 ;the values where you want the temperature
-- whose derivative changes sign
thistemp=interpol(temp,depth,thisdepth)

You might add /quad or /lsq for a better fit, or even use a better
spline routine...
