| Title: |
The International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) in netCDF format from 2000-01-01 to 2009-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0162500) |
| Abstract: |
This dataset contains observations of global ocean meteorological and oceanographic variables, such as sea surface and air temperatures, wind, pressure, humidity, and cloudiness, from many national and international data sources, including ships (merchant, navy, research), moored and drifting buoys, coastal stations, and other marine and near-surface ocean platforms. These observations have been merged to create the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) collected from 2000-01-01 to 2009-12-31. The spatial coverage is global and sampling density varies depending on date and geographic position relative to shipping routes and ocean observing systems. This is the netCDF version of the ICOADS Release 3.0 (R3.0), which is converted from the IMMA1 format. Useful metadata have been added in the global and variable attributes of each file to make the netCDF self-contained. |
