Description:The oceanographic databases described by this atlas series greatly expands on the World Ocean Atlas 1994 (WOA94) database. Previous oceanographic databases including theNODC/WDC-A profile archives, and products derived from these databases, have proven to be ofgreat utility to the international oceanographic, climate research, and operational environmental forecasting communities. In particular, the objectively analyzed fields oftemperature and salinity derived from these databases have been used in a variety ofways. These include use as boundary and/or initial conditions in numerical ocean circulation models, for verification ofnumerical simulations ofthe ocean, as a form of "sea truth" for satellite measurementssuch as altimetric observations ofsea surface height, and for planning oceanographic expeditions. The databases, and products based on these databases, are critical forsupport ofinternational assessment programs such as the Intergovernmental Program on Climate Change (IPCC) ofthe United Nations.
