GIS Layer: Mixed Layer Depth in the Australian Region

ESRI grids showing the ocean Mixed Layer Depth annual amplitude and annual mean, calculated from the oceanographic temperature and salinity cast data used to generate CARS2000. These grids have been produced by CSIRO for the National Oceans Office, as part of an ongoing commitment to natural resource planning and management through the 'National Marine Bioregionalisation' project. CARS2000 is derived from ocean cast data, which is always measured above the seafloor. However, for properties which do not change rapidly near the seafloor, this would not lead to a significant error.
