The following descriptions are from http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/ : Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO)

The TAO/TRITON Array was designed to better understand and predict climate variations related to El Niño and the Southern Oscillation (ENSO). ENSO, the warm phase of which we refer to as El Niño and the cold phase La Niña, represents the strongest year-to-year climate fluctuation on the planet. ENSO events significantly disrupt normal patterns of weather variability, affecting agriculture, transportation, resource management, energy production, and the lives of millions of people around the globe. ENSO also affects Pacific marine ecosystems and commercially valuable fish stocks such as tuna and anchovy. TAO/TRITON was built over the 10 year period 1985-94 and is presently supported by the USA (NOAA/National Weather Service / National Data Buoy Center) and Japan (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology).

Atlantic Ocean - PIRATA Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Atlantic

PIRATA was designed to study ocean-atmosphere interactions in the tropical Atlantic that affect regional weather and climate variability on seasonal, interannual and longer time scales. Ocean-atmosphere interactions in this region influence the development of droughts, floods, severe tropical storms and hurricanes, with impacts felt by millions of people in the Americas and Africa. PIRATA was first established in the mid-1990s and has undergone expansions and enhancements since 2005 to improve its utility for ocean and climate research and forecasting. To reflect these improvements in design, the original PIRATA acronym was changed in 2008 from "Pilot Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic" to "Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic". PIRATA is supported by France ((IRD, Meteo-France, CNRS and IFREMER), Brazil (INPE and DHN) and the USA (NOAA)

Indian Ocean - RAMA

Research Moored Array for African-Asian-Australian Monsoon Analysis and Prediction

The Research Moored Array for African-Asian-Australian Monsoon Analysis and Prediction (RAMA) was designed to study the Indian Ocean’s role in the monsoons. One third of the world population depends on monsoon driven rainfall for agricultural production, so improving our understanding and ability to predict the monsoons has been a longstanding objective of the international scientific community. RAMA, the newest tropical buoy array, was initiated in the traditionally data sparse Indian Ocean in 2004 following deployment of successful pilot scale arrays by Japan and India. RAMA has since grown through the formation of new partnerships that at present include Indonesia, China, the USA, and the Bay of Bengal Large Marine Ecosystem (BOBLME) program.

FWIW, one of the folders on this site (ftp://ftp.pmel.noaa.gov/GTMBAdata/) was mirrored in issue #45, but it appears from browsing the rest of the ftp directory here, that there are a lot of useful data that were not included in that mirror

I have downloaded this server in full. Uploading to mirrors now. I will post directory stats later.

@gabefair I have two public mirrors available for this data. Size: 1.3tb

I have two public mirrors available too. Here : https://archives.corentinb.me/content/climate-mirror-datasets/361.html
