{{short description|A synthesis project bringing together oceanographic data}}
The '''Global Ocean Data Analysis Project''' ('''GLODAP''') is a synthesis project bringing together [[oceanography|oceanographic]] data, featuring two major releases as of 2018. The central goal of GLODAP is to generate a global [[climatology]] of the [[World Ocean]]'s [[carbon cycle]] for use in studies of both its natural and [[greenhouse gas|anthropogenically-forced]] states. GLODAP is funded by the [[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration]] (NOAA), the [[United States Department of Energy|U.S. Department of Energy]] (DOE), and the [[National Science Foundation]] (NSF).
The first GLODAP release (v1.1) was produced from data collected during the 1990s by research cruises on the [[World Ocean Circulation Experiment]] (WOCE), [[Joint Global Ocean Flux Study]] (JGOFS) and [[Ocean-Atmosphere Exchange Study]] (OACES) programmes. The second GLODAP release (v2) extended the first using data from cruises from 2000—2013. The data are available both as individual "bottle data" from sample sites, and as interpolated fields on a standard longitude, latitude, depth grid.
