Global Oceanographic Data Set Atlas
ds279.0
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 It has likely been superseded by a newer, improved dataset.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:
Samuels and Cox (GFDL) took 15 commonly used data sets for ocean models and put them on a uniform 1 by 1 degree grid. Original data sources include Levitus, Hellerman, Esbensen and Kushnir to name just a few.
Temporal Range:
1854 to 1979
Variables:
| Air Temperature | Precipitation Amount | Runoff | Salinity |
| Sea Surface Temperature | Surface Winds | Water Temperature |
Vertical Levels:
| Ground or water surface |
Data Types:
Grid
Spatial Coverage:
Longitude Range: Westernmost=180W Easternmost=180E
Latitude Range: Southernmost=90S Northernmost=90N Detailed coverage information Detailed coverage information 1° x 1° from 0E to 360E and 90S to 90N (360 x 180 Longitude/Latitude cells)

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.
