The aim of the World Ocean Database Cloud (WODc) is equitable and timely access to historic and recent subsurface oceanographic data through a cloud-optimized format and analysis tools designed to utilize the form directly in the cloud.
Open-GTS is built for fast and complete near-real-time data delivery, including ocean subsurface data. Inclusions of Open-GTS in the WODc will allow for ocean time series monitoring up to and including the most current oceanographic measurements. The availability of the two data flows with cloud analysis tools brings instant history of ocean change and present monitoring together at the World’s fingertips.
This Project is hosted by the Ocean Decade Programme An Ocean Data and Information System supporting the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (OceanData 2030)
