Description:The oceanographic databases described by this atlas series greatly expands on the World Ocean Atlas 1994 (WOA94) database. Previous oceanographic databasesincluding the NODC/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 of temperature and salinity derived from these databases have been used in a variety of ways. These include use as boundary and/or initial conditions in numerical ocean circulation models, for verification of numerical simulations ofthe ocean, as a form of "sea truth" for satellite measurements such as altimetric observations of sea surface height, and for planning oceanographic expeditions. The databases, and products based on these databases, are critical for support of international assessment programs such as the Intergovernmental Program on Climate Change (IPCC) ofthe United Nations.
