The WODselect retrieval system
allows a user to search World Ocean Database 2005 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
WOD05 native and ".csv" data format
(more information about downloading and reading the data files).
