(1999) equatorial treatment. Computed from CARS2000 3-dimensional seasonal temperature and salinity fields. Monthly values derived from annual and semi-annual temperature and salinity cycles. 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 in the region. It covers the region 100-200E, 50-0S, on a 0.5 degree grid, and on 56 standard depth levels. Higher resolution versions are also available for the Australian continental shelf. The data was obtained from the World Ocean Atlas 98 and CSIRO Marine and NIWA archives. It was designed to improve on the Levitus WOA98 Atlas, in the Australian region. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[90.0, -60.0], [180.0, -60.0], [180.0, 0.0], [90.0, 0.0], [90.0, -60.0]]]} 90.0 180.0 -60.0 0.0 Data Link documentDigital subsurface_currents/subsurf_currents.nc.gz (81.4 MB) HTML
