Global Ocean Dimethylsulfide Observations and Climatology

d289002
 
Abstract:

Dimethylsulfide (DMS) measurements (15748 samples) made in the surface global oceans during 1972-1998 are given as raw data samples, along with the associated environmental data data at the time of data collection, and as 1-degree by 1-degree global objectively analyzed grids. The grids are for both a monthly climatology (12 monthly grids), and an overall annual mean.

Temporal Range:
1972 to 1988
Variables:
Dimethyl Sulfide
Vertical Levels:
Ground or water surface
Temporal Frequencies:
Monthly Climatology, Every year (Mean)
Data Types:
Grid ,  Platform Observation

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.
