Abstract
While the Direct Access option to extract data from the GCOOS Data Portal provides flexibility and allows the download of most recent data, it can be slow. Pre-generated CSV files are also available on the GCOOS WAF facility. We encourage users to use the GCOOS WAF to download monthly summaries. Data in netCDF4 data format is also available for data summarized by platforms or stations. Whenever possible, the GCOOS 52N SOS is most appropriate for machine-to-machine communications or as the endpoint to applications that support OGC SOS 2.0.
The following is a form to interactively retrieve data using a form (see the tab on Data Call Instructions for more on this). To retrieve data, simply provide the inputs and click on the [Retrieve Data] button to generate the CSV file.
