World Ocean Atlas 2009 (WOA09)

World Ocean Atlas 2009 (WOA09)

World Ocean Atlas 2009 (WOA09) is a set of 1x1 degree climatological fields of in situ temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, apparent oxygen utilization (AOU), percent oxygen saturation, phosphate, silicate, and nitrate at standard depth levels for annual, seasonal, and monthly compositing periods for the World Ocean. It includes objectively analyzed, statistical means, and associated statistical fields of observed oceanographic profile data interpolated to standard depth levels.
