abstract: Since the first release of WOD98, the staff of the Ocean Climate Laboratory of NOAA's National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) have performed additional quality control on the database. Version 2.0 also includes Ocean Data View (ODV) software developed by R. Schlitzer. (ODV software will uncompress selected data files and offers users several options for viewing the WOD98 data.) The Ocean Climate Laboratory (OCL) has completed the first major phase of a project to update previous releases of global oceanographic data. World Ocean Database 1998 (WOD98) expands on World Ocean Atlas 1994 (WOA94) by including the additional variables nitrite, pH, alkalinity, chlorophyll, and plankton, as well as all available metadata and meteorology. WOD98 v.2 is an International Year of the Ocean product. The World Ocean Database 1998 Version 2 (WOD98 v.2) is comprised of five CD-ROMs containing profile and plankton/biomass data in compressed format. WOD98-01 v.2 through WOD98-04 v.2 contain observed level data; WOD98-05 v.2 contains all the standard level data. WOD98-01 v.2 Observed Level Data; North Atlantic 30° N-90° N; WOD98-02 v.2 Observed Level Data; North Atlantic 0°-30° N, South Atlantic; WOD98-03 v2. Observed Level Data; North Pacific 20° N-90° N; WOD98-01 v.2 Observed Level Data; North Pacific 0°-20° N; South Pacific, Indian; WOD98-01 v.2 Standard Level Data for all Ocean Basins.
purpose: This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.

description: The Secchi disk (or Secchi disc), as created in 1865 by Angelo Secchi, is a plain white, circular disk 30 cm (12 in) in diameter used to measure water transparency or turbidity in bodies of water. The disc is mounted on a pole or line, and lowered slowly down in the water. The depth at which the disk is no longer visible is taken as a measure of the transparency of the water. This measure is known as the Secchi depth and is related to water turbidity. [Wikipedia, 2021-09-02]
