WORLD OCEAN ATLAS 2018 Volume 6: Conductivity
Year: 2019
Type: article
Abstract: This atlas consists of a description of data analysis procedures and horizontal maps of climatological distribution fields of electrical conductivity at selected standard-depth levels of the World Ocean on one-degree and quarter-degree latitude-longitude grids. The aim of the maps is to illustrate large-scale characteristics of the distribution of ocean conductivity. The fields used to generate these climatological maps were computed by objective analysis of historical conductivity data that were derived from scientifically quality-controlled temperature and salinity data in the World Ocean Database 2018. Maps are presented for climatological composite periods (annual, seasonal, monthly, seasonal and monthly difference fields from the annual mean field, and the number of observations) at 102 standard depths.
