SOOP Data Access

Data Availability: Data are available online. SOOP is establishing itself as an operational programme and is therefore participating in the Joint WMO-IOC Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM) and particularly in its Ship Observations Team (SOT). Data management is taken care of through the Global Temperature Salinity Profile Programme (GTSPP).

Access the Database

SOOP provides upper ocean measurements data:

• MEDS - (Canada). This database holds the most recent temperature and salinity profile data from the networks. It is updated 3 times weekly with data from hours to months old from the networks.
  • Access Real-time data via GTSPP
• (CMD) NODC - (USA). This database holds all available temperature and salinity profile data from MEDS as well as profile data from other sources, including the full resolution copies of the real time data.
  • Access GTSPP Continuously Managed Databa
  • Other data centers and archives
