    • Climatological Atlas of the World Ocean, Monthly Analyses (1982) (NCEI Accession 8400107)

    Metadata Updated: July 1, 2025

    The files in this archival package present a synthesis of all temperature, salinity, and oxygen data available from US NODC's Oceanographic Station Data, Mechanical BathyThermograph (MBT), and Expendable BathyThermograph (XBT) data files as available in 1982. Data were analyzed in a consistent, objective manner at standard oceanographic depth levels on a one-degree latitude-longitude grid between the surface and ocean bottom with a maximum depth of 5500 meters. This archival information package contains data used to produce the Climatological Atlas of the World Ocean, NOAA Professional Paper No. 13, Rockville Md, December 1982.
