The World Ocean Database 1998 (WOD98) is comprised of five CD-ROMs containing profile and plankton/biomass data in compressed format. WOD98-01 through WOD98-04 contain observed level data, WOD98-05 contains all the standard level data.

World Ocean Database 1998 (WOD98) expands on World Ocean Atlas 1994 (WOA94) by including the additional variables nitrite, pH, alkalinity, chlorophyll, and plankton, as well as all available metadata and meteorology. WOD98 is an International Year of the Ocean product.

WOD98-01 Observed Level Data; North Atlantic 30° N-90° N;
WOD98-02 Observed Level Data; North Atlantic 0°-30° N, South Atlantic;
WOD98-03 Observed Level Data; North Pacific  20° N-90° N;
WOD98-01 Observed Level Data; North Pacific  0°-20° N; South Pacific, Indian;
