Atlas of the Northern Indian Ocean

Description

St. Petersburg, FL: University of South Florida, 1994. — 158 р.The Ocean Climate Laboratory (OCL) at the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) is supported by the NOAA Climate and Global Change program to produce scientifically quality controlled oceanographic databases. Work to date includes quality' control of historical temperature, salinity, oxygen, phosphate, nitrate, and silicate data and the preparation of one-degree latitude-longitude mean fields for each of these parameters using objective analysis techniques. Specifically, to date this project has produced four ocean atlases describing results and two technical reports describing the quality control and processing procedures. The World Ocean atlases include global distributions of temperature, salinity, oxygen, oxygen saturation and Apparent Oxygen Utilization (AOU), and the nutrients phosphate, silicate and nitrate. The figures in the Atlas of the Northern Indian Ocean are a subset of the global figures shown in the above mentioned world atlases.Observed and standard level profile data (along with quality' control flags) and the objectively analyzed one-degree latitude-longitude mean fields for each of the measured parameters and the derived parameters (Apparent Oxygen Utilization and oxygen saturation) and five-degree square statistics of standard levels values, used in the production of this atlas is being made available to the international oceanographic community on the World Ocean Atlas 1994 CD-ROM series. The WOA94 CD-ROMs are available on order from the NODC.Annual temperature at standard levels in the North Indian Ocean Winter (Jan.-Mar.) temperature at standard levels in the North Indian OceanSpring (Apr.-Jun.) temperature at standard levels in the North Indian OceanSummer (Jul.-Sep.) temperature at standard levels in the North Indian OceanFall (Oct.-Dec.) temperature at standard levels in the North Indian OceanAnnual salinity at standard levels in the North Indian OceanWinter (Jan.-Mar.) salinity at standard levels in the North IndianOceanSpring (Apr.-Jun.) salinity at standard levels in the North Indian OceanSummer (Jul.-Sep.) salinity at standard levels in the North Indian OceanFall (Oct.-Dec.) salinity at standard levels in the North Indian Ocean Annual oxygen at standard levels in the North Indian Ocean Winter (Jan.-Mar.) oxygen at standard levels in the North Indian OceanSpring (Apr.-Jun.) oxygen at standard levels in the North Indian OceanSummer (Jul.-Sep.) oxygen at standard levels in the North Indian OceanFall (Oct,-Dec.) oxygen at standard levels in the North Indian Ocean Annual Apparent Oxygen Utilization at standard levels in the North Indian OceanWinter (Jan.-Mar.)
