This is an interactive tool to plot hydrographic maps using the dataset published as NOAA CD-ROM series. The dataset contains climatological annual-mean water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and nutrient fields, objectively analyzed on 1-degree-by-1-degree grids and at 33 depth levels. Please access NOAA WWW Server for more details.

Please specify plotting parameters:

• Which kind of projection do you want to see? (Selected in Boldface)
  1. horizontal map (longitude vs. latitude)
  2. zonal section (longitude vs. depth)
  3. meridional section (latitude vs. depth)
• Which kind of quantity do you want to see? in situ temperature salinity dissolved oxygen phosphate silicate nitrate
• Which dataset do you want to see? 1-degree (WOA94) 1-degree (WOA98) 1-degree (WOA01) 1/4-degree (WOA94) 1/4-degree (WOA01)
  (Attention: it takes much time to create a wide map from 1/4-degree datasets)
• On which index do you want to see (1=surface to 33=bottom)?
• Latitude range from to and longitude range from to (e.g., specify -180 to 180 to cross Greenwich).
• You can specify the size of images (Default 560x392). Which factor do you want? 0.7 1.0 1.5 2.0

the map, but it takes a little time. Please wait....
