The Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS) metadata portal is now live. This resource contains almost 5 000 records, describing research datasets from physical, chemical and biological sciences throughout the Southern Ocean, collected by researchers from many countries.
The portal is run through NASA’s Global Change Master Directory (GCMD), and presents a subset of all records in the GCMD that relate to the candidate Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) that have been identified as the focus of SOOS data efforts.
