Data Dictionary from SEACOOS

The SEACOOS standard names cover many categories/disciplines, with extensive detail about each name.

The SEACOOS project has terminated, although many resources are still on line. The SECOORA project is currently updating these dictionaries and will be publishing new versions sometime in 2009. Please use the links on this page with caution, as they are now deprecated.

Dictionary includes standard names that are coordinate-related, time_date names, atmospheric data, physical oceanographic, chemical oceanographic, electromagnetic radiation, ADCP, sensor-related, platform-related, M_aeri data-related, and navigation. For each name, there is a definition, short name, long name, data type, data class, units, axis, valid range, parameter reference, instrument general, equivalent standard name, and standard.
