SOR AADCP Links and Gridded Data Sets

The first table on this page lists some of the relevant AADCP links; the second has a list of gridded data sets.

The Australian Antarctic Data Centre Portal (AADCP) holds data from Australia's Antarctic Research. The data can be searched using the download specific search box on the left side of the page. The data is available to be downloaded but you have to set up an account first.

Below is a list of the data accessed through the Antarctic Master Directory (AMD). Links to the AMD site for each data set have been provided so that the metadata can be accessed.
