Bunker Climate Atlas of the North Atlantic Ocean

ds209.2
 
Abstract:

The basic version of this North Atlantic dataset was created by Andrew Bunker of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. He analyzed observations from the ship reports of the Voluntary Observing Fleet into irregularly-spaced areas over the ocean. The atlas presented here contains a revision of the early data interpolated to a regularly-spaced 1-degree grid over the Atlantic.

Data License:
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.
