World Ocean Atlas 2013 v2 Climatology
Description
CMAP contains 2013 V2 World Ocean Atlas 1° Monthly Climatology data. The World Ocean Atlas is a data product compiled by the National Oceanic Data Center and the Ocean Climate Laboratory. It is a global climatological 1° X 1° gridded dataset with physical and nutrient data available at depth levels ranging from 0-1500m. Each variable has fields for Objectively Analyzed Climatology, Statistical Mean, Number of Apparent Observations, Standard Deviation and Standard Error.
