    • Oceanographic, biological, and meteorological data collected as part of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) project from 1907 to 1998

    Metadata Updated: December 1, 2023

    This collection contains in situ oceanographic measurements and parameters including profile and meteorological data. Specific measurements and parameters include in situ barometric pressure; current; water depth; sea surface, air and dew-point temperature; absolute and relative humidity; cloud, wind and wave parameters; salinity; nutrients; chlorophyll; phaeophytin values; carbon fixation and productivity index. Data were collected from drifting buoys, from ships, and from satellites. The data were collected as part of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) project. The data were processed by NODC and are currently available in NODC F156 Drifting Buoy Data file format, NODC F015 Ocean Currents Data file format, NODC standard Universal Bathythermograph Output (UBT) format, and other formats.
