Abstract

The mission of OceanSITES is to collect, deliver and promote the use of high-quality data from long-term, high-frequency observations at fixed locations in the open ocean. OceanSITES typically aim to collect multidisciplinary data worldwide from the full-depth water column as well as the overlying atmosphere.

OceanSITES delivers high-quality data from long-term, high-frequency observations at fixed locations in the open ocean.
