2000-2015 climatology of the Subtropical Mode Waters and Permanent Pycnocline properties in the World Ocean

this dataset contains oac-p results from application to argo data in the world ocean : the 2000-2015 climatology of oac-p results mapped onto a 0.5x0.5 grid with mapping error estimates; the 2000-2015 probability density function of the permanent pycnocline potential density referenced to the sea surface vs brunt-väisälä frequency squared.oac-p is an "objective algorithm for the characterization of the permanent pycnocline" developed to characterize subtropical gyre stratification features with both observed and modeled potential density profiles. oac-p estimates the following properties: for the permanent pycnocline: depth, upper and lower thicknesses, brunt-väisälä frequency squared, potential density, temperature and salinity; for the surface mode water overlying the permanent pycnocline: depth, brunt-väisälä frequency squared, potential density, temperature and salinity.argo data were download from coriolis argo gdac on february, 8th 2016. only argo data with qc=1, 2, 5 or 8 were used.

本数据集收录了应用于全球海洋中Argo数据的oac-p结果：包括2000-2015年气候学oac-p结果的0.5x0.5网格映射及其映射误差估计；2000-2015年永久性跃层潜在密度概率密度函数相对于海面与布伦特-维萨拉频率平方的对照。oac-p是一种用于描述永久性跃层的'客观算法'，旨在通过观测和模拟的潜在密度剖面来表征副热带环流层结特征。oac-p估算以下属性：对于永久性跃层：深度、上下厚度、布伦特-维萨拉频率平方、潜在密度、温度和盐度；对于覆盖永久性跃层的表层水模式：深度、布伦特-维萨拉频率平方、潜在密度、温度和盐度。Argo数据于2016年2月8日从Coriolis Argo GDAC下载，仅使用了QC=1、2、5或8的Argo数据。
