Mediterranean Sea Climatic Indices - Linear trends of T/S, OHC/OSC Anomalies

Climatic indices for the Mediterranean Sea (6.25W-36.5E, 30N-46N) from 1950 to 2015. The file
"Med_Climatic_Indices_LinearTrends.tar.gz" contains : a) an ascii file named "inventory_LinearTrends.txt" which lists all the available indices, and b) a directory named "LinearTrends" with the indices under the following structure:

• LinearTrends/Annual/Variable_period_allmonths_z1z2.nc
• LinearTrends/Seasonal/ Variable_period_season_z1z2.nc

The Variable naming is:

• Tlineartrend: Vertically averaged temperature anomaly linear trend
• Slineartrend: Vertically averaged salinity anomaly linear trend
• OHClineartrends: Ocean Heat Content anomaly linear trend
• OSClineartrends: Ocean Salt Content anomaly linear trend

Other naming:

• period: stands for 19502015
• allmonths: 0112 (all months from January to December)
• season: 0103 for winter, 0406 for spring, 0709for summer, 1012 for autumn
• z1z2: vertical layer between z1 and z2 depths

Example:

• Tlineartrend_19502015_0112_6004000.nc, is the annual vertically temperature anomaly linear trend, for the period 19502015, between 600 and 4000 m
