ODV is used by a large number of oceanographers. The UNESCO Ocean Teacher project employs ODV as one of its main analysis and display tools.[http://odv.awi.de/ ODV homepage] ODV is used to display and analyze data from several oceanographic projects such as Argo, World Ocean Circulation Experiment, World Ocean Database Project, SeaDataNet, World Ocean Atlas, and Medar/Medatlas projects.Murray Brown, Ocean Data View 4.0, Oceanography, 11, No 2/1998, 19-21, http://www.jcommops.org/FTPRoot/Argo/Tools/ODV/MBrown_ODV_Review.pdf

Ocean Data View includes also options that permit to perform objective analysis thanks to the add-on DIVA software.
