Tropical Pacific Ocean Sea Surface Salinity, Observations and Monthly Analyses
Sea surface salinity measurements from the
tropical Pacific Ocean were used to derive monthly grids
(1969-1995), and annual and monthly climatologies
based on the 1979-1992 period.
The source "bucket" data (1969-1998) and
thermosalinograph data (1990-1999) from ships
are also included in the dataset.
These data along with moored buoy, hydrocast, and
CTD-derived data were used to compute the gridded fields.
