In addition to Direct Access and 52N SOS endpoints to access data from GCOOS Data Portal, GCOOS also maintains a Web Accessible Folder (WAF) to promote data reuse. Files are summarized by observation on a monthly basis, as well as by platform or station. NetCDF data format has grown in popularity and in addition of standard Comma Separated Files (CSV), files summarized on a per platform are translated to a netCDF4 (Classic) data format.
