Disclaimer from CSIRO: "CSIRO did not generate the ASCII text format data for the World Ocean Atlas 2005, and takes no credit or responsibility for it. The conversion of the World Ocean Atlas 2005 ASCII text format data to netCDF format is quite straightforward, however, it is up to the users of the CSIRO netCDF version of the NODC World Ocean Atlas 2005 to check and reassure themselves of its numerical integrity and applicability to research applications. The CSIRO netCDF version of the NODC World Ocean Atlas 2005 archive may be modified or updated at any time without any prior warning. If you have any questions regarding this document (pdf, 0.77 MB), please contact the author, preferably by e-mail."
