WOCE Subsurface Float Data Assembly Center Woods Hole, Mass.

Welcome to the WOCE Subsurface Float Data Assembly Center (WFDAC) home page. Data available to the oceanographic community at large are here, along with images and background information.The WOCE Subsurface Float Data Assembly Center is the result of the effort and resources of many individuals and institutions. We encourage you to acknowledge the work of the data originators and Data Centers in publications arising from use of these data and products.
