IOOS Core Variables

Mission Critical Support

The Data Management team maintains {manages, promotes, cultivates} the Data Warehouse. All materials are delivered where possible to meet IOOS Core Variables.

See select assets in Google Earth

The AOOS Data Management team created select kml files to display a sample of assets within the data warehouse. The assets page holds links to a variety of Google Earth screen shots showing select assets.

Core variables

IOOS has 20 core variables. We've listed them below with links to the online tools we've developed to demonstrate the types of data stored in the AOOS Data Warehouse. Each of the following links take you to our data page for that variable. These pages are undergoing ACTIVE development (9/2/2009).

(1) Salinity

(2) Temperature

(3) Bathymetry - Exploration of the depth and geology of the ocean floor.

(4) Sea level

(5) Surface waves

(6) Surface currents - HF Radar - high frequency radar for measuring surface current velocities.

(7) Ice distribution

(8) Contaminants

(9) Dissolved nutrients

(10) Fish species

(11) Fish abundance

(12) Zooplankton species

(13) Optical properties

(14) Heat flux - AOOS Data Warehouse catalog shows zero; this will be corrected to reflect select materials that are present. (8/5/09)

(15) Ocean color

(16) Bottom character

(18) Dissolved O2

(19) Phytoplankton species

(20) Zooplankton abundance
