In this project the PI will expand and complete a global hydrographic ocean climatology product, begun in collaboration with other scientists over the last several years. The product is documented in the HydroBase software package, which will consist of three components: 1. A quality controlled database of pre WOCE (World Ocean Circulation Experiment) data based on both water samples and electronically measured temperature and salinity profiles, 2. Three dimensional gridded fields of annual and monthly averaged properties, and, 3. A set of software utilities that will permit users to extract subsets of data and analyze them as a function of space and time. The most important distinguishing feature of this climatology is its implementation of isopycnal averaging, which would substantially improve previous, similar atlases (World Ocean Atlas WOA94). The use of this data base has already received endorsements from members of the oceanographic community.

在该项目中，PI将扩展并完成过去几年与其他科学家合作开始的全球水文海洋气候学产品。该产品记录在HydroBase软件包中，该软件包由三个组件组成：1.基于水样和电子测量的温度和盐度剖面的WOCE（世界海洋环流实验）前数据的质量控制数据库，2。三维网格领域的年和月平均性能，和，3。一组软件实用程序，允许用户提取数据子集并将其作为空间和时间的函数进行分析。这一气候学最重要的特点是采用等密度线平均法，这将大大改进以前的类似地图集（世界海洋地图集WOA 94）。海洋学界成员已赞同使用这一数据库。
