Primary Standards for Consideration
-
GCMD - 99% satellite instances; all vessels covered by single term SHIPS
-
ICES-SeaDataNet - From
http://www.ices.dk
-
WOD + WOD - From
http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-datafmts.html. The TXT file is
infelicitously formatted and cannot be inserted into a useful spreadsheet
-
NOTE: US NODC and the WOD no longer direct code-seekers to
http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/OC5/WOD05/codes05.html
which has been superseded by the above link.
Additional Resources
- The old CDI list can be provided, but it is assumed to have been
incorporated into the SeaDataNet list above.
