World Ocean Atlas 2013 (NCEI Accession 0114815)

World Ocean Atlas 2013 (WOA13) is a set of objectively analyzed (1 degree grid and 1/4 degree grid) climatological fields of in situ temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, Apparent Oxygen Utilization, percent oxygen saturation, phosphate, silicate, and nitrate at standard depth levels for annual, seasonal, and monthly compositing periods for the World Ocean. 1/4 degree fields are for temperature and salinity only. It also includes associated statistical fields of observed oceanographic profile data interpolated to standard depth levels on 1/4 degree, 1 degree, and 5 degree grids. Temperature and salinity fields are available for six decades (1955-1964, 1965-1974, 1975-1984, 1985-1994, 1995-2004, and 2005-2012) and an average of all decades representing the period 1955-2012. Nutrient and oxygen fields are available using all quality controlled data for the entire sampling period 1878-2012.
