World Ocean Atlas 2013 (WOA13)

World Ocean Atlas 2013 (WOA13)

World Ocean Atlas 2013 (WOA13) is a set of 0.25x0.25 degree, 1x1 degree, and 5x5 degree climatological fields of in situ temperature and salinity at standard depth levels for annual, seasonal, and monthly compositing periods for the World Ocean. The 1x1 degree and 5x5 degree includes other variables usch as apparent oxygen utilization, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, percent oxygen saturation, phosphate, and silicate. The climatological fields also includes It includes objectively analyzed, statistical means, and associated statistical fields of observed oceanographic profile data interpolated to standard depth levels.
