About Bedford Institute of Oceanography - Oceanographic Databases
The site provides access to databases maintained by Ocean Sciences at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography. These include temperature-salinity profiles for the NW Atlantic, satellite sea-surface temperature and chlorophyll, monthly statistics from moored currents and other instruments, and daily temperatures from coastal thermographs.
Use requires one-time registration. Queries run offline and users are notified by email where and how to download results, generally within a few hours. The amount of data per query is limited, and large Hydrographic requests for individual records can exceed the limit.
