Global ocean seasonal statistics for temperature, salinity and other variables from 1978-01-01 to 1978-12-31 (NCEI Accession 8500063)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 07:33 AM | Dataset Last Updated: February 10, 2023 at 12:00 AM
This dataset contains seasonal statistics by five-degree squares of temperature, salinity, oxygen, oxygen saturation, potential density, and specific volume. The number of observations, mean, and standard deviation of each parameter for each season are given at each standard level from the sea surface through a depth of 4000m.
