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: | NODC Standard Product: World Ocean Database 2005 (NCEI Accession 0099241) |
| Abstract: | The World Ocean Database 2005 (WOD05) DVD contains data, documentation, programs, and utilities for the latest release of this product. Data include 7.9 million temperature profiles, and 2.7 million salinity profiles, plus data for 27 other in situ measurements, including oxygen, nutrients and chemical tracers, chlorophyll, carbon variables, and plankton. Data on the DVD are organized by instrument type. Within each instrument directory, the data are stored by year. Data are stored in ASCII format, and gzip compressed. Utilities are provided under the directory UTILS for both UNIX and DOS operating systems. This DVD contains six directories named: CODES (contains codes associated with the secondary header, biological header, and taxa data) DATA (contains yearly sorted data, dating from 1773 though 2005) DOC (contains the documentation) ODV (contains the Ocean Data View software for viewing the WOD05 data, developed by Dr. Reiner Schlitzer, AWI. This software will decompress selected files and offers users several options for viewing the WOD05 data. ODV works on PCs only). PROGRAMS (contains source code and executables for programs which are examples of how to read the data and can be used to reformat the data into comma-delimited or space-delimited forms). UTILS (contains the gzip utility for uncompressing WOD05 data files.) |

| Supplementary information: | The data in this archival information package is the content of NODC standard DVD-ROM product World Ocean Database 2005, NODC-DVD-07. All data on this disc were extracted from other data collections archived at the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) at the time the disc was created. An ISO disc image of the original disc was created using standard disc duplication software and copied to data/0-data/disc_image/ directory. Individual files from the DVD-ROM cannot be accessed directly from this accession. The ISO disc image files in this accession should be 'burned' to a blank DVD-ROM disc to fully replicate the functionality of the original DVD-ROM product. |
