Note: new data added after the release of the WOD13 have not gone through the full set of quality control
procedures and should be considered
preliminary.
The WODselect retrieval system
allows a user to search World Ocean Database 2013 and new data added
since its release using a user-specified search criteria. A distribution map and cast count of these search
criteria will give the user the option to have the data extracted and placed on the NODC FTP site in the
WOD13 native, 'csv', and netCDF data formats
(more information about downloading and reading the data files ).

Note: standard depths were extended in WOD13
