1 Based on statistics from Climatological Atlas of the World Ocean (1982).
2 Based on NODC Temperature Profile CD-ROM. 3 WOD05 OSD dataset includes data from 121,625 low-resolution CTD casts and 864 low-resolution XCTD casts. 4 WOD05 CTD dataset includes data from 2,478 high-resolution XCTD casts. 5 WOD05 MBT dataset includes data from 80,212 DBT profiles and 5,659 Micro-BT profiles. 6 Surface data are represented differently from profile data in the database – all observations in a single cruise have been combined into one “cast” with zero depth, value(s) of variable(s) measured, latitude, longitude, and Julian year-day to identify data and position of individual observations. |
