Hydrographic Atlas of the Southern Ocean Data
Entry ID:
AWI-SODB
|
Summary
The hydrographic atlas consists primarily of gridded fields of
temperature, salinity and oxygen at 42 standard depths with a
resolution of 1x1 degrees south of 30 degrees South. Additionally
hydrographic station data are available as a separate data set.
The idea to compile this hydrographic atlas of the Southern Ocean was
... prompted by a considerable increase in the number of observations
for the Southern Ocean during the last two decades. A large collection
of historical data not incorporated into previous work (&Climatological
Atlas of the World Ocean&, Levitus, 1982; &Southern Ocean Atlas&,
Gordon, Molinelli, Baker, 1982) was used in addition to the data
from these atlases. Data from more than 38.000 stations were validated
very carefully. Gridded fields were calculated subsequently by
Objective Interpolation. The maps include error maps which allow
estimates of the reliability of the analyzed parameter field. The
atlas was produced in cooperation with AWI in Bremerhaven (Germany)
and the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute in St. Petersburg
(Russia). Many other institutions have provided data and many
scientists have freely shared their data and knowledge to support
the project. The validated station data set and the gridded data can be
obtained. The atlas is available for DM 500. including shipping
(surface mail).
All texts, tables and graphics from the Atlas can be found in the
World Wide Web:

data set is available via FTP:
