Welcome to the homepage of the Surface Ocean CO₂ Atlas (SOCAT) Project

SOCAT is an international effort, supported by UNESCO-IOC/SCOR IOCCP (International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project), SOLAS (Surface Ocean Lower Atmosphere Study) and IMBER (Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Escosystem Research), to establish a standard global surface carbon dioxide dataset that brings together all publicly available data in a common format.
