Southern Ocean Data Collection

For its latest compilation, SeaView is bringing together data from the Southern Ocean (defined as south of -30 degrees latitude). These data come from four oceanographic repositories: CCHDO (CTD and bottle data), OBIS (microbial community data from micrOBIS), the Palmer Station LTER (zooplankton data), and Argo floats. Because the full Argo data set is too large for many users to handle conveniently, we have created custom subsets co-located with each of the other three collections. Data are downloadable from the diagram or below.
