“…Later, more than 1.5 million MBT temperature traces from1939 to 1967 were digitized at 5 m intervals and stored on index cards. These cards were, in turn, electronically digitized and archived at the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center [ Levitus , ]. It was reported that 73% of all 1939–1967 MBTs were U.S. devices, but other countries, notably Japan and the Soviet Union, also dropped MBTs.…”

[1] The evolution of ocean temperature measurement systems is presented with a focus on the development and accuracy of two critical devices in use today (expendable bathythermographs and conductivity-temperature-depth instruments used on Argo floats). A detailed discussion of the accuracy of these devices and a projection of the future of ocean temperature measurements are provided. The accuracy of ocean temperature measurements is discussed in detail in the context of ocean heat content, Earth's energy imbalance, and thermosteric sea level rise. Up-to-date estimates are provided for these three important quantities. The total energy imbalance at the top of atmosphere is best assessed by taking an inventory of changes in energy storage. The main storage is in the ocean, the latest values of which are presented. Furthermore, despite differences in measurement methods and analysis techniques, multiple studies show that there has been a multidecadal increase in the heat content of both the upper and deep ocean regions, which reflects the impact of anthropogenic warming. With respect to sea level rise, mutually reinforcing information from tide gauges and radar altimetry shows that presently, sea level is rising at approximately 3 mm yr À1 with contributions from both thermal expansion and mass accumulation from ice melt. The latest data for thermal expansion sea level rise are included here and analyzed.

“…The IOC has a role to facilitate knowledge exchange and sharing of data and information from ABNJ (BBNJ, 2013, IOC, 2016a, IOC, 2015a. Ocean data and information management systems need to be enhanced in order to support research in emerging ocean science issues and enable the provision of evidence-based scientific advice to international policy processes (Levitus, 2012).…”

Oceanographic Data Repositories: An Analysis of the International Situation

Abstract:The preservation and organization of oceanographic research data enables the scientific community to consult and reuse information of different kinds, and this is made possible by the repositories, meaning the services that facilitate data storage and dissemination. This paper reviews the current situation of oceanographic data repositories across different countries and evaluates them according to a series of indicators. The writers propose that although interest in storing and reusing oceanographic data has increased in recent years, the repositories are still in the process of developing their systems for processing, disseminating and reusing data. The repositories also differ in terms of architecture and the organizational level of the content they offer.
