World Ocean Database

The World Ocean Database (WOD) is a comprehensive collection of information about the world's oceans, including measurements like temperature, salinity, currents, and more. It gathers data from scientific ships, buoys, satellites, and research stations worldwide. This extensive database helps scientists monitor ocean conditions, study climate change, support marine research, and inform environmental policies. Think of it as a global library of ocean knowledge, providing the critical data needed to understand and protect our planet’s largest and most vital ecosystem.
