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.) This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0099241 Preview graphic PNG 0099241 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2006-07-01 publication ABSORPTION - SCATTERING - ATTENUATION COEFFICIENTS AIR TEMPERATURE AIR TEMPERATURE - DRY BULB AIR TEMPERATURE - WET BULB AMMONIA (NH3) Attenuation/Transmission BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BEAM ATTENUATION COEFFICIENT biological data BIOMASS BIOMASS - PLANKTON CARBON CARBON - CARBONATE CARBON - TOTAL ORGANIC CHLOROFLUOROCARBON (CFC) CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-11 (CFC-11) CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-113 (CFC-113) CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-12 (CFC-12) CHLOROPHYLL CONDUCTIVITY DELTA CARBON-13 DELTA CARBON-14 DELTA HELIUM-3 Delta Oxygen-18 DEPTH - BOTTOM DEPTH - OBSERVATION DEPTH - SENSOR DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON (DIC) DISSOLVED ORGANIC CARBON DISSOLVED OXYGEN HELIUM HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE JULIAN YEAR - DAY LATITUDE LONGITUDE NEON NITRATE nitrate + nitrite content (concentration) NITRITE NUTRIENTS OPTICAL OXYGEN OXYGEN ISOTOPES OXYGEN ISOTOPES - OXYGEN-18 partial pressure of carbon dioxide - water pH PHAEOPHYTIN phosphate PLANKTON SALINITY SEA STATE Secchi depth silicate total alkalinity TRANSMISSIVITY Tritium (Hydrogen isotope) water depth WATER TEMPERATURE WAVE DIRECTION WAVE HEIGHT WAVE PERIOD WEATHER WIND DIRECTION WIND SPEED xCO2 atmosphere xCO2 seawater xCO2 warm ZOOPLANKTON theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS CTD instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS atlas biological chemical drifting buoy meteorological moored buoy optical physical profile time series underway water chemistry theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS US National Oceanographic Data Center dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS World-Wide Distribution place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

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.
