I am looking for some quality biophysical data products (ocean temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, Chl-a etc.), especially in-situ ones, for the water bodies situated near the arctic sea and Antarctica. Profiling Floats, Ice-Borne Observing Systems, Ice/Snow Surface Drifters etc. are some of the systems for acquiring polar ocean datasets. So far, I have come across the following sources:
Are these sources good enough to represent ocean dynamics within the polar circle? I would much appreciate it if you could point out some other sources, whether it is in-situ, satellite or model, for understanding polar ocean dynamics.
Have a look on the Ocean Data View website, there are quite a lot of datasets available there. For temp, salinity, oxygen, nutrient and the derivatives of these variables, World Ocean Atlas (WOA13 or 18) is great. You can find that on the ODV site, and then look at it through the ODV software. Its quite easy to use, and specific data can then be extracted.
you can check Ocean Data View websites and Copernicus marine resources (https://resources.marine.copernicus.eu/products).
