Civil War Battles & Civil War Casualties Interactive Map. NOAA Status Alert. - 4. OCEANOGRAPHIC DATA. An Introduction to Atmospheric and Oceanographic Datasets There is a broad range of oceanographic data types. This chapter will focus on the data that defines the physical characteristics of the ocean-atmosphere boundary layer and the subsurface distribution of sea water properties.

Upper atmosphere observations taken from ocean islands or ships can be considered conventional meteorological observations and are discussed in Chapter 3. Oceanographic data are collected using both in situ methods and remote sensing. The most obvious remote sensing platforms are satellites, but scientific aircraft, some special buoys, and even some ships use instruments (e.g., radiometers) to remotely sample the ocean surface. Useful in situ ocean observations come from different sources, with varying degrees of quality. Scientific research programs collect the widest variety of in situ data. The sampling periods for scientific research programs are often short relative to the needs of climate studies.
