Additional empirical statistical plots include the mean and standard deviation based on the arithmetic mean, the median and Median Absolute Deviation (MAD), winsorized estimates of the mean and standard deviation, quartiles, and skewness estimated from the quartiles. Some of these statistics are presented in both "normalized" and "natural" coordinates. Disc 1 contains seasonal distributions for the upper (0 m to 400 m) ocean. Disc 2 contains annual distributions for the deep (500 m - 5500 m) ocean. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0101473 Preview graphic PNG 0101473 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2002-12-01 publication ANALYSES - ANNUAL SUMMARIES ANALYSES - SEASONAL SUMMARIES SALINITY WATER TEMPERATURE theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS atlas theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS NODC Ocean Climate Lab dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Northeast Atlantic Ocean (limit-40 W) Northwest Atlantic Ocean (limit-40 W) Southeast Atlantic Ocean (limit-20 W) Southwest Atlantic Ocean (limit-20 W) place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS climatology theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC/OCL > Ocean Climate Laboratory, National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
