Salinity Data

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

World Ocean Atlas/Database:
- Quality Controlled Data Online
  World Ocean Database (WOD):
  - WODselect - Search & Retrieval System
  - WOD - files sorted by time or geographic area
- Analyzed Fields Online
  World Ocean Atlas 2009 (WOA09)
  - WOAselect - Search & Retrieval Tool
- Searchable Images Online
  World Ocean Atlas 2009 Figures (WOA09F)
- Regional Climatologies
  Gulf of Mexico Regional Climatologies
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.
Salinity Anomalies - linear trends for the World Ocean: 1955-1998
Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) Quality Monitoring - Quality Monitoring on Level-2 Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) Products from Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) and Aquarius/Satélite de Aplicaciones Cientificas (SAC)-D Missions
NODC's Ocean Archive System can also be queried for salinity data.
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.

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).
Atlas of Temperature-Salinity Frequency Distributions - International Ocean Atlas Series: Volume 4 (2 discs)
Korea Oceanographic Database (KOD) - A regional portal which includes measurements of temperature, salinity, nutrients and meteorological parameters.

Customized salinity datasets can also be obtained by contacting NODC User Services.
