Joint Environmental Data Analysis Center Contributions to WOCE

Back in 1996, the Joint Environmental Data Analysis (JEDA) Center was a collaboration between Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) and the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). One objective was to quality control upper ocean temperature profiles over the Pacific Ocean. These profiles were collected in both real-time and delayed-mode from a variety of national and international sources. Another objective was to construct products (e.g., maps of temperature anomalies at standard depths) from these quality controlled profiles in order to examine seasonal-to-interannual changes in upper ocean temperature over the global ocean. These products were disseminated through cooperative agreements with a number of government and academic institutions, and through their publication on our JEDA Center Web Page over the Internet.
