World Ocean Atlas 2023 - objectively analyzed in situ temperature and salinity climatologies for the 1991-2020 climate normal period (NCEI Accession 0270533)

Description

The World Ocean Atlas 2023 (WOA23) climate normals of temperature and salinity are a set of objectively analyzed (one degree grid and quarter degree grid) climatological fields of in situ temperature and salinity at standard depth levels for annual, seasonal, and monthly compositing periods for the World Ocean over the 1991-2020 time period. Additionally, the WOA23 climate normals of temperature and salinity include associated statistical fields of observed oceanographic profile data interpolated to standard depth levels on quarter degree and one degree grids. The temperature and salinity 1991-2020 climate normal fields are an average of the 1991-2000, 2001-2010, and 2011-2020 decadal climatologies. This accession is a product generated by the National Centers for Environmental Information's (NCEI) Ocean Climate Laboratory Team. The analyses are derived from the NCEI World Ocean Database. The temperature and salinity climate normals were the first fields released as part of the World Ocean Atlas 2023 on October 18, 2022.
