- The WDC for Climate is aimed at collecting, scrutinizing, and disseminating data related to climate change on all time scales. Emphasis is on data products from climate modelling and related observational data. The WDC focuses on geo-referenced data using the operational CERA data and information system. Input is accepted in electronic form, specifics have to be discussed with the WDC staff.

SODA_1.2 is UMD reanalysis product using an eddy-permitting global
model based initially on POP_1.3 numerics and SODA procedure.
The horizontal resolution of POP on the equator is 28km x 44km reducing
to an approximately uniform 25km x 25 km in the weatern North Atlantic.
Vertically, it contains 40 levels, from ocean surface to about 5500m.
The OI analysis was done with our SODA procedure every 10 day on 1 by 1
degree resulotion. The observation data of sst, temperature and
salinity were used in the analysis. Altimetry data were not used in
this product.
The datasets we provided are on a 0.5 x 0.5 degree horizontal
resolution with 23 levels, from 5m to 1139m. The variables in the
datasets are: temperature, salinity, zonal & meridional
velocities, windstresses, sea surface height, heat & fresh water
fluxes. The time coverage is monthly, from 1958 to 2001.
- National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) : Link
The National Oceanographic Data Center holds global physical, chemical, and biological oceanographic data sets
that are being used by researchers world-wide. Specifically NODC's
Ocean Climate Laboratory is investigating interannual-to-decadal ocean
climate variability using historical oceanographic data, and building
scientifically, quality-controlled global oceanographic databases in
their products known as the World Ocean Atlas and World Ocean Database.
