Description

This object includes two files. One (GlobalML_Trend_1970_2018.mat) contains the 1970-2018 trends of mixed-layer depth, 0-200 stratification, and pycnocline stratification, as described in: Sallée, J.B., Pellichero, V., Akhoudas, C., Pauthenet, E., Vignes, L., Schmidtko, S., Naveira Garabato, A., Sutherland, P., Kuusela, M., 2020, Fifty-year changes of the world ocean’s surface layer in response to climate change, 591, 592–598, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-021-03303-x. The second one (GlobalML_Climato_1970_2018.mat) contains a climatology of mixed-layer depth based on the same methodology as in Sallée et al., 2021 (nature; doi:https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-021-03303-x) but without regressing a trend. The climatological field is therefore different than in the paper; more robust in region where trends are unphysical (e.g.  winter high latitude)
