NODC Standard Product: World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) Global Data Resource (GDR), versions 1-3, on CD-ROM and DVD

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: October 04, 2025 | Last Modified: 2023-02-16T00:00:00.000+00:00
The US National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) produced twelve (12) CD-ROMs containing World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) Version 1 project data in the summer of 1998. NODC produced fifteen (15) CD-ROMs containing WOCE Version 2 project data in the fall of 2000. The WOCE Global Data Version 3.0 suite consists of two (2) DVDs. The WOCE Global Data Version 3.0 DVD suite consists of 2 single-sided and double-layered DVDs. A Web browser is required to fully explore and access the DVD contents. Data on these disks cover most of the global ocean and are from the period of 1990 to 1998, the intensive observation phase of WOCE. Some data from before and after this period are also included. The 2 DVDs were archived in NCEI Accession 0000841. The WOCE GDR data streams were: Bathymetry, Current Meters, Drifters, Hydrography, In-Situ Sea Level-Fast Delivery, In-Situ Seal Level-Delayed Mode, Profiling Floats, Satellite Sea Surface Height, Satellite Sea Surface Temperature, Satellite Surface Winds, Sea Surface Salinity, Shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers, Subsurface Floats, Surface Meteorology, and Upper Ocean Thermal. Presentations given during the WOCE and Beyond Conference are archived with this DVD product, but are not part of the two DVD set. NODC produced fifteen (15) CD-ROMs containing WOCE project data in the fall of 2000. This is version 2.0 of WOCE project data. Each CD was assigned an accession number for inventory purposes: Data Information Unit & Bathymetry - NCEI Accession 0000306 Disk 1 Hydrographic Programme - NCEI Accession 0000307 Disk 2 Upper Ocean Thermal - NCEI Accession 0000308 Disk 3 Subsurface Floats - NCEI Accession 0000309 Disk 4 Surface Velocity Programme - NCEI Accession 0000310 Disk 5 Current Meter Moorings - NCEI Accession 0000311 Disk 6 Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers - NCEI Accession 0000312 Disk 7 Sea Level - NCEI Accession 0000313 Disk 8 Surface Meteorology - NCEI Accession 0000314 Disk 9 Surface Fluxes - NCEI Accession 0000315 Disk 10 Satellite Data - Sea Surface Height - NCEI Accession 0000316 Disk 11 Satellite Data - Sea Surface Temperature - NCEI Accession 0000317 Disk 12 Satellite Data - Wind Data - NCEI Accession 0000318 Disk 13 eWOCE: Electronic Atlas of WOCE Data - NCEI Accession 0000319 Disk 14 Hydrographic Programme - BATS/HOTS Timeseries - NCEI Accession 0000320 Disk 15 NODC produced twelve (12) CD-ROMs containing WOCE Version 1 project data in the summer of 1998.

The Scientific Steering Group (SSG) of WOCE oversaw the scientific development and the International Project Office (IPO) managed the implementation of the Experiment.
