Global Ocean Data Analysis Project

Gridded Data (version 1.1) Key, R.M., et al., 2004. A global ocean carbon climatology: Results from GLODAP. Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 18(4). This page provides datasets for use with the Ocean Data View software. The datasets are platform-independent and can be used on any supported system (Windows, Linux, UNIX, Mac OS X). To install a dataset, download the zipped data file to the base directory of your ODV data and unzip the file. During unzipping make sure you restore the directory structure as stored in the zip-file (e.g., use "unzip <file-name>" or "pkunzip -d <file-name>", etc.). Open the data collection with Ocean Data View.
