Absolute Geostrophic Velocity Inverted from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) Joint U.S.-Russian Atlas of the Arctic Ocean with the P-Vector Method (NCEI Accession 0156424)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 02:45 AM | Dataset Last Updated: October 04, 2016 at 12:00 AM
The dataset (called EWG-V) comprises 3D gridded climatological fields of absolute geostrophic velocity inverted from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) Joint U.S.-Russian Atlas of the Arctic Ocean using the P-vector method. It provides a climatological velocity field that is dynamically compatible to the EWG (T, S) fields. The EWG-V velocity fields have the annual, and seasonal (winter and summer) means with the same horizontal resolution of 25 km and 90 vertical levels as the EWG temperature and salinity fields.
