Salinity pentadal anomaly fields (ASCII files)

Salinity pentadal anomalies are mean differences for the given time period from monthly mean climatologies.
To download the salinity anomaly files, you may download an individual file or a tar file of all
years for a particular type of a parameter (i.e., all years of the temperature analyzed
anomalies in one tar file).

Information how to download and read the data is available from Instructions.

Pentadal anomalies from 1955-59 to 1994-98
Depth range from surface to 3000 m (28 levels)
 

  
    File naming conventions:

    [p][ft][by][ey].dat
     |   |   |     |
     |   |   |     last two digits of ending year
     |   |   last two digits of beginning year
     |   file type (an,dd,sd,gp)(see WOA01 documentation)
     parameter (t=temperature, s=salinity, o=oxygen, A=AOU)
