The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | NODC Standard Product: World Ocean Atlas 1994 (11 disc set) (NODC Accession 0098057) |
| Abstract: | Observed and standard level profile data (along with quality control flags) used in the production of these atlases were made available in a World Ocean Atlas 1994 CD-ROM series (referred to herein as WOA94). In addition, the series contains the objectively analyzed one-degree latitude-longitude mean fields for each of the measured parameters, and two derived parameters (Apparent Oxygen Utilization and Oxygen Saturation), and five-degree square statistics of standard level values. WOA94-01 contains the objectively analyzed one-degree latitude-longitude mean fields for temperature; WOA94-02 contains the mean salinity fields plus five-degree square statistics of standard level values for all parameters; WOA94-03 contains the mean fields for oxygen, Apparent Oxygen Utilization, oxygen saturation, phosphate, silicate and nitrate; WOA94-04 Observed data: North Atlantic (0-40N), North Indian, South Indian; WOA94-05 Observed data: North Atlantic (40N-90N), South Atlantic; WOA94-06 Observed data: North Pacific (0-30N), South Pacific; WOA94-07 North Pacific (30-90N); WOA94-08 Standard level data: Atlantic and Indian; WOA94-09 Standard level data: Pacific; WOA94-10 Yearly temperature anomaly fields; WOA94-11 Corrections. Copies of the World Ocean Atlas 1994 (WOA94) CD-ROMs are no longer available from the NODC Online Store. Duplicate discs may be created by burning the appropriate .iso file(s) in the data/0-data/disc_image/ directory to blank CD-ROM media using standard CD-ROM authoring software. Software that was developed or provided with this NODC Standard Product may be included in the disc_image/ directory as part of a disc image, but executable software that was developed or provided with this NODC Standard Product has been excluded from the disc_contents/ directory. The WOA94 temperature files and monthly fields are available online in the NODC anonymous ftp area ftp://ftp-oceans.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/WOA94/ATLAS-CTD-RPL/. Additional documents and programs are available online in the NODC WOA94 anonymous ftp area ftp://ftp-oceans.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/WOA94/. |

| Supplementary information: | The contents of these discs are available as 1) a compressed .tar file via the download data button (download size limit may prevent obtaining all data in one transaction); 2) a complete ISO 9660 disc image, from which an identical replica of the original disc may be burned on new CD/DVD media, by navigating to the .iso file in the data/0-data/disc_image/ subdirectory; 3) individual files, by navigating to specific file(s) in the data/0-data/disc_contents/ subdirectory. Additional resources are also available online from NODC. See https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/OC5/indprod.html and https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-cdrom.html#woatlas for details. |
