CARS is a set of seasonal maps of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, phosphate and silicate, generated using Loess mapping from all available oceanographic data. CARS2009 covers the globe from 75S to 90N, on a 1/2 degree grid, and on 79 standard (CSLv3) depth levels. The data was collated from many sources and rigorously screened to form BLUElink Ocean Archive (BOA). CARS2009 supersedes the CARS2006. Everything you need to know, including a full set of plots and how to access from outside CSIRO, is at www.cmar.csiro.au/cars
