Comparison of Observed Data and GDEM (Generalized Digital Environmental Model)/Standard Ocean Data. Part 2. Monthly Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Plots and Temperature/Salinity Vertical Cross-Sections Along Great Circle Tracks in the Mediterranean Sea.

摘要

This report compares the results of the Generalized Digital Environmental Model, (GDEM), developed by Dr. T. Davis of the Naval Oceanographic Office (NOO), with measured and analyzed data from the Mediterranean Sea. Monthly Sea Surface Temperaure (SST) analyses are compared and evaluated. Vertical cross sections along Great Circle tracks of temperature and salinity are compared and evaluated. Comparisons and evaluations of monthly SST and vertical cross-sections along Great Circle tracks are compared for the major basins of the Mediterranean. (Author)
