Description

This dataset is formed by the anomalies of the main oceanic parameters: potential temperature, salinity, surface heat flux, mixed layer depth, sea surface height, density, wind forcings and marine currents, this is calculated from the monthly mean dataset SODA with an original resolution of 1/2 degree, which was interpolated with the bilinear method at 1/4 degree. The time period is from 1980-01-16 to 2017-12-12 and is geographically limited by 42°W - 30°W / 20°S - 0°.

In this dataset, the coordinate system of the currents and the wind forcings are different from the coordinate system of the rest of the variables, for that reason they are in separate files.
