美国国家海洋和大气管理局(NOAA)的2009年世界海洋数据库于11月发布,作为2005年版本的更新,提供了约910万份温度剖面和350万份盐度报告,其中一些信息可以追溯到1800年。更新后的数据库包括关于海洋的科学信息,可以按地理或年份等各种方式进行分类。“现在关于全球海洋的数据比以往任何时候都多,”世界海洋学数据中心主任悉尼·莱维图斯说,该中心是NOAA国家海洋学数据中心的一部分。他说:“以前的数据库显示,世界海洋在过去53年里已经变暖,我们对未来海洋进行可靠、准确的监测至关重要。”该数据库是综合海洋观测系统和全球对地观测分布式系统的一部分。
The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) World Ocean Database 2009, released in November as an update to the 2005 version, provides about 9.1 million temperature profiles and 3.5 million salinity reports, with some information dating as far back as 1800. The updated database includes scientific information about the oceans that can be sorted in various ways, including geographically or by year. “There is now more data about the global oceans than ever before,” according to Sydney Levitus, director of the World Data Center for Oceanography, part of NOAA's National Oceanographic Data Center. “Previous databases have shown the world ocean has warmed during the last 53 years, and it's crucial we have reliable, accurate monitoring of our oceans into the future,” he said. The database is a part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System and the Global Earth Observation System of Systems.
