World Ocean Atlas 1994. Volume 5. Interannual Variability of Upper Ocean ThermalStructure

摘要

This atlas contains maps of yearly in situ upper ocean temperture anomaly fieldsat selected standard levels of the world ocean, computed on a one-degree latitude-longitude grid, for the 1960-1990 period. The fields used to generate these maps were computed by objective analysis of historical data. Data distribution maps are presented for individual years at selected standard levels. In addition, figures showing the results of multivariate analyses of these fields, linear temperature trends occurring in the upper ocean, and difference fields between selected years are presented.
