Biological and Chemical Oceanography Database

The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCODMO) staff members work with investigators to publish data from research projects funded by the Biological and Chemical Oceanography Sections at the U.S. National Science Foundation. The data sets and supporting documentation from oceanographic research projects are freely available from this database. The data available here are intended solely for scholarly use by the academic and scientific community, with the express understanding that any such use will properly acknowledge the originating Investigator. Anyone wishing to use portions of this data collection in a presentation, report, thesis or publication should contact the originating investigator (PI). It is expected that all customary courtesies and privileges attached to data use will be strictly honored. Use or reproduction of any material herein for any commercial purpose is prohibited without prior written permission from the BCO-DMO . (see the complete citation, usage, and copyright information).
