Scientific Data and Products

• Global Telecommunications Service (GTS) data,
• Kiel Deep Drifter Data,
• Surface Velocity Programme (SVP) data

Global sea surface meteorological and oceanographic observations reported in daily and historical time frames.

At the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA) field station, a number of lakes and watersheds have been set aside for the purpose of whole-lake manipulation studies. This facility, in existence since 1968, offers scientists and biologists a unique opportunity to do experimental research in nature instead of inside the laboratory. Entire small lakes are available to test hypotheses about freshwater ecosystems. With permanent buildings housing modern labs, living facilities and support services, the science community is able to move into residence for a field season with the potential to work on site year round.

A Web Mapping application which allows the viewing of geospatial data and metadata, as well as the downloading of GeoSpatial Data

Global 0.2º X 0.2º climatology of monthly sea surface temperature (SST) developed by Environment Canada, using in situ and remotely sensed observations.

Features monthly report on the oceanographic data that Integrated Science Data Management (ISDM) of DFO receives via its links to the Global Telecommunications System (GTS), and information regarding the Global Temperature-Salinity Profile Project.

The Ship of Opportunity Programme (SOOP) is an international and operational program directed primarily towards the continued operational maintenance and co-ordination of the ship of opportunity network. Observations made are primarily temperature from XBTs but temperature and other data types from instruments such as thermosalinographs, XCTD, CTD, ADCP, pCO2 and phytoplankton counters are also measured.

The Ocean Science Hydrographic Climate Database (Climate) is a comprehensive, open access collection of temperature and salinity data for the Northwest Atlantic and Eastern Arctic.
