| DOI: 10.5065/N2WR-EG09
Abstract:
Surface observations, some XBT profiles, and some subsurface station data from permanent observing ocean ships. Earliest data is 1945 and latest data is 1991. Added in June 2006 are station and line P profile data extracted from WOD05.
Temporal Range:
1945 to 1991
Variables:
| Air Temperature | Cloud Frequency | Dew Point Temperature | Humidity |
| Icebergs | Salinity | Sea Level Pressure | Sea Surface Temperature |
| Surface Winds | Swells | Visibility | Wave Height |
| Wave Period | Wave Speed/Direction |
Vertical Levels:
| Ground or water surface |
Data Types:
Platform Observation

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
