Abstract
This interactive map shows current locations and trajectories of SOCCOM biogeochemical floats and provides links to real-time raw and quality-controlled float data. Daily sea ice extent from the US National Ice Center is shown shaded in blue. The map was originally developed by Kelly Kearney (University of Washington) in cooperation with MBARI, although it has since received a number of enhancements from various contributors.
View float and profile locations, download raw and QC’d data files (ODV format). SOCCOM float data are freely available to the public without restriction.
