World Ocean Circulation Experiment Global Data V3.0 Profiling Floats

The World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) was a part of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) which used resources from nearly 30 countries to make unprecedented in-situ and satellite observations of the global ocean between 1990 and 1998 and to observe poorly-understood but important physical processes.
The collection contains ocean temperature and salinity data measured by profiling floats. The data have been contributed by a number of researchers. The data have undergone whatever data quality checks are carried out by the originator only. None of the data have passed through standardized procedures. Users are cautioned to keep this in mind when using the data.
