Description

JPL Atlas of Monthly Mean Global Surface Ocean Variables (1987-1999 satellite data)

Description copied from: SMP site
Data access: via SMP Live Access Server

These climatologies are part of the Product Number 001 of the Multi-parameter data products made available from the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PODAAC)

The Monthly Mean Global Surface Ocean Variables data set consists of monthly mean averages of global sea surface temperature, sea surface height, significant wave height, chlorophyll-a concentration, surface wind speed, surface wind velocity and near-surface current. These data sets are associated with a series of printed atlases by Halpern et al. (1991, 1992a, 1992b, 1993a, 1993b, 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000). Please note that the years over which the monthly averages were calculated and the distance between measurements differ for each data set.
