SeaDataCloud Temperature and Salinity Climatology for the Arctic Ocean (Version 2)

The SeaDataCloud Temperature and Salinity seasonal climatologies have been processed from the historical Data Collection of the Arctic Ocean (from 56°N to 83°N and from 45°W to 70°E) including temperature and salinity in situ data of the water column for the period 1955 -2019. Seasonal climatological fields are provided for the whole time period 1955-2019, six decades (1955-1964/1965-1974/1975-1984/1985-1994/1995-2004/2005-2014) and a pentad 2015-2019. A subset of the World Ocean Database 2018 (WOD18, https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/OC5/WOD/pr_wod.html) dataset has been integrated as external data-source to improve data availability for analysis. The climatology has been computed with DIVAnd software, version 2.6.6
