eWOCE UOT Temperature and Salinity Data
R. Schlitzer, Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, Germany
Data
Description: The UOT collections contain temperature and salinity profiles from the WOCE Upper Ocean Thermal Program. The data are organized by ocean basins, and there is a separate collection for high density lines. Because of storage limitations, the data have been sub-sampled to approximately 1 m vertical resolution. Data that have passed data center quality control procedures can be identified by the characters "dc" as first part of the cruise label, whereas data that have passed more stringent quality control procedures at science centers are denoted by "sc" in the cruise-label. Use the ODV Selection Criteria, if you want to subset the UOT collections.
Usage: Open one of the files from the table below with Ocean Data View. Load one of the provided configuration files or browse the data interactively. <DVD> below represents the drive or mount-point of your DVD.
