International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) Near-Real-Time (NRT) Release 3.0.2, 2015 to Present

Description

The International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) Near-Real-Time (NRT) product has been updated to a new version, Release 3.0.2. The new version includes blended preliminary NRT observations from ocean platforms distributed in Traditional Alphanumeric Code (TAC) and Binary Universal Form for the Representation of meteorological data (BUFR) formats collected from the WMO Global Telecommunications System (GTS). The data are converted to the ICOADS common format, the International Maritime Meteorological Archive (IMMA) format, quality controlled, and duplicates removed for the final product. Marine meteorological and near-surface oceanographic parameters are provided. Spatial coverage is global, and the current period of record for these files is from January 2015 to the most current, complete month.
