Temperature Data

NODC's most complete global temperature datasets are contained in:

World Ocean Atlas/Database:
- Raw Data Online
  World Ocean Database (WOD):
  - WODselect - Search & Retrieval System
  - WOD - files sorted by time or geographic area
- Analyzed Fields Online
  World Ocean Atlas 2005 (WOA05)
  - WOAselect - Search & Retrieval Tool
- Searchable Images Online
  World Ocean Atlas 2005 Figures (WOA05F)
Descriptions of the data, methods, and selected figures are also contained in a separate printed atlas series, or on CD-ROM/DVD. You can also go directly to the Ocean Climate Laboratory's Product Page for more information on World Ocean Atlas/Database products.
Global Ocean Heat Content 1955-2007
Warming of the World Oceans 1955-2003; Heat Content 2004
NODC's Ocean Archive System can also be queried for temperature data.
Global Temperature-Salinity Profile Program (GTSPP) - access to upper ocean observations from an international program, in cooperation with Canada's Marine Environmental Data Service (MEDS). The GTSPP focuses on managing temperature and salinity data collected after 1990, and after a three month lag with additional quality control procedures, is incorporated into the World Ocean Database (WOD).
U.S. Coastal Water Temperature Guide - get near real-time and long term averages of coastal water temperature from buoys and other coastal stations. For historical buoy data see NODC's Marine Environmental Buoy Website.
Argo Daily Data - Argo daily data include real-time and delayed-mode profiles of ocean temperature and salinity (and conductivity, if any) measured by the Argo profiling floats.
Pacific Region Ocean Data & Information Portal (PRODIP) - Access to Argo & GTSPP data collected in the Pacific Ocean.

Shipboard Sensor Database (SSD) - a standard suite of underway data from NOAA ships. These data include measurements of salinity and temperature from thermosalinographs, bottom depth, wind speed and direction, atmospheric temperature, pressure and humidity, position and date/time.
Remotely sensed temperature data from satellites and sea surface temperature (SST) images.
Atlas of Temperature-Salinity Frequency Distributions on CD-ROM - International Ocean Atlas Series: Volume 4 (2 discs)
Historical air temperatures from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center
Real-time air temperatures from NOAA's National Weather Service
Customized temperature datasets can also be obtained by contacting NODC User Services.
