Synthesis Files

The merged and adjusted GLODAPv2 (2016) data product, prepared as described in Lauvset et al. (2016) can be accessed in a variety of formats:

.csv and .mat files

Global and regional synthesis files are available as csv and mat files via the NOAA’s OCADS (former CDIAC) National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) data archive. For the csv files, the file EXPOCODE.txt can be used for translating cruise number, as given in the data files, to cruise expocodes. For the mat files the expocodes are supplied in a cell array. Please refer to Olsen et al. (2016), Key et al. (2015) and the README file for further details on the content of these files.

Mapped Data Product files

The GLODAPv2 mapped product consists of gap-filled fields on a uniform 1°x1° grid for 33 standard depth surfaces. The gap-filled fields are created using the DIVA software (https://github.com/gher-ulg/DIVA) as described in Lauvset et al. (2016), and include error estimates. To limit discontinuities at the boundary the grid begins at 20°E, where the boundary falls mostly on land.

The GLODAPv2 mapped product files are hosted by the NOAA’s OCADS (former CDIAC) National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) data archive. Use the links below to obtain the latest version of the Mapped Data Product. Previous versions can be found at the bottom of this page.
