Image database of planktonic foraminifera

The Modern Planktic Foraminifera Image Database is a collection of various images on planktic foraminifers that are living in the world ocean. This database includes the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images of shells, optical images and movies of living planktic foraminifers under laboratory cultural conditions. The current database will be updated when new images are achieved.

Argo Delayed-mode(High-Quality) Database

Provides delayed mode high quality data along with detailed information on the Argo floats deployed by Japan, operated by Argo Group, IORGC. Visitors to the site can also view the results of objective analyses of water temperature, salinity, and current velocity based on Argo float data.. The site also allows data from Argo floats deployed worldwide to be downloaded in real-time.

TRITON Buoy Data

Is the public web site of the TRITON Buoy Project. All data transmitted by the buoys can be viewed in real-time, and the data is also downloadable.

Subsurface ADCP mooring dataset

As the "TOCS (Tropical Ocean Climate Study)" project in JAMSTEC, variability of long-term surface and subsurface ocean current have been observed by the ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) mooring system in the western Pacific Ocean and in the eastern Indian Ocean. After removing electric noise, the data were processed to the hourly mean and 10 meters depth bin.

JAMSTEC Compact Arctic Drifter
(J-CAD, POPS)

Provides access to water temperature, salinity, current direction and velocity, and meteorological data received from sensors mounted on Arctic drifter buoys. These sensors are also used to calculate the distribution of water temperature and salinity beneath the Arctic ice.
