North Atlantic vertical velocity estimates from OGCM geostrophic meridional velocities

Annual vertical velocity (w_GLVB) estimates from OGCM geostrophic velocities within the North Atlantic ocean during the 1960-2015 period.

The w fields are computed following the methodology described in Cortés-Morales and Lazar, submitted.
