Global Ocean Data Analysis Project (GODAP)

The Global Ocean Data Analysis Project (GODAP) is an international effort to collect, compile, and analyze data about the ocean's properties, such as temperature, salinity, and carbon levels. Its goal is to improve understanding of how the oceans absorb and store carbon dioxide, which affects climate change. By bringing together data from various ships, satellites, and research programs, GODAP helps scientists track changes in the ocean over time, providing valuable insights into the Earth's climate system and aiding policy decisions for environmental management.
