There are 243,000 reports of temperature versus depth (BATHY), and 42,000 reports of salinity versus depth (TESAC). These are IGOSS verified Russian and foreign data sets (BATHY/TESAC reports) available for international exchange without restriction.

Also, time-ranged dataset of time series from deep temperature and salinity observations at ocean weather stations T, J, K in the North Atlantic Ocean are available from 10,000 stations, for the time period 1950 to 1984. All-Russian Research Institute of Hydrometeorological Information (RIHMI-WDC) conducts acquisition, processing and storage of environmental data as well as making them available to users.
