World Ocean Atlas 1994 (Seasonal Means)
The World Ocean Atlas 1994 data set consists of a
synthesis of temperature, salinity, oxygen
and nutrients in the world ocean. It was prepared by Sydney Levitus, Timothy
Boyer, Russell Burgett, and Margarita Conkright of the
National
Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The atlas continues and extends
the 1982 Climatological Atlas by Levitus.
Ocean parameters have been analyzed in a consistent, objective manner
at standard oceanographic analysis levels on a one-degree latitude-longitude
grid between the surface and ocean bottom. Annual, seasonal and
monthly means are available.
