USGODAE/FNMOC PROFILE - Fixed/drifting buoy, bathy, and PALACE float data
Observational data from the FNMOC Ocean QC process are posted in near real-time to the USGODAE server.
These files contain all of the unclassified in-situ data used to initialize the US Navy NOGAPS model, and all of the climate and background (forecast) values used in the QC process.
Profile - temperature and salinity climate profiles and climate variability products are now from GDEM 3.0, the Navy standard data base (global, 0.25 deg resolution, monthly files with 76 vertical levels).
