This historical dataset is recommended for ancillary use only and not as a primary research dataset. It has likely been superseded by a newer, improved dataset.
Abstract:
Monthly global grids of data, derived fluxes, and anomalies were prepared from the COADS data.

1950 to 1979
Variables:
| Heat Flux | Humidity | Longwave Radiation | Precipitation Amount |
| Salinity | Sea Level Pressure | Sea Surface Temperature | Shortwave Radiation |
| Surface Winds |
Vertical Levels:
| Ground or water surface |

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
