Data & Tools
We believe ocean observations belong in the open. Our data flow to public archives, and our code lives on GitHub.
Interactive Calculators
Seawater calculator
Every thermodynamic property of seawater at full TEOS-10 precision — density, sound speed, enthalpy, entropy, the freezing point — evaluated from the Gibbs function rather than from a polynomial fit, with the Absolute Salinity anomaly applied from position.
Glider ballast calculator
Ballast change, the resulting tank reading, and whether the buoyancy engine spans neutral across the water the vehicle will fly in — against in-situ TEOS-10 density at the surface, the mixed layer and the deepest inflection.
Slocum glider data decoder
Slocum binary data —
sbd,tbd,mbd,nbd,dbd,ebdand their compressed forms — decoded to CSV or netCDF, with seawater properties from the CTD if you want them. The files are never uploaded.
Open data Datasets
C4PO glider deployments on the IOOS Glider DAC
Real-time and delayed-mode profiles from the lab's underwater glider deployments, archived through the U.S. IOOS national Glider Data Assembly Center.
Open source Software
GliderADCP.jl
Pure-Julia implementation of a glider ADCP data processing pipeline.
ocean_data_tools
A MATLAB toolbox for interacting with common ocean data sources — Argo, gliders, CTD, models — published in the Journal of Open Source Software.
oceansensing on GitHub
The lab's GitHub organization, home to glider piloting, data processing, and analysis code — and the source of this website.
SeaExplorerIO.jl
A pure-Julia data reader for SeaExplorer glider navigation and payload data.
SlocumIO.jl
A pure-Julia reader for Slocum glider binary data — a Julia implementation of dbdreader.
