It is formed by merging many national and international data sources that contain measurements and visual observations from ships (merchant, navy, research), moored and drifting buoys, coastal stations, and other marine and near-surface ocean platforms. Each marine report contains individual observations of meteorological and oceanographic variables, such as sea surface and air temperatures, wind, pressure, humidity, and cloudiness. The coverage is global and sampling density varies depending on date and geographic position relative to shipping routes and ocean observing systems. This dataset contains ICOADS Release 3.0.2-Daily, which is a near-real time daily update of ICOADS observations. Data are available from 2023-03-24, and are updated daily with a latency of 19 days. The new release includes changes designed to enable more effective exchange of information describing data quality between ICOADS, reanalysis centers, data set developers, scientists and the public. These user-driven innovations include the assignment of a unique identifier (UID) to each marine report, to enable tracing of observations, linking with reports and improved data sharing. Other revisions and extensions of the International Maritime Meteorological Archive (IMMA) common data format incorporate new near-surface oceanographic data elements and cloud parameters. Many new input data and metadata sources have been assembled, and updates and improvements to existing data sources, or removal of erroneous data, made. onGoing datahelp@ucar.edu pointOfContact daily dataset NOAA IMMA NetCDF4 dataset Resource Type 2021-03-30 revision 4.4 DataCite Metadata Working Group orginator resourceTypeGeneral BUOYS U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-03-19 revision 23.6 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Platforms EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN TEMPERATURE > SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-03-19 revision 23.6 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Science and Services Keywords Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License None eng utf-8 oceans 2015-01-01 2025-08-06 NSF NCAR Geoscience Data Exchange datahelp@ucar.edu https://gdex.ucar.edu distributor 118852.053 https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d548003/ https Dataset Description Related Link information https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d548003/dataaccess/ https Data Access Related Link download none asNeeded
