Climatological atlas of the Nordic Seas and northern North Atlantic

"The goal of the Atlas is to provide the international scientific community and wider general public with a regional dataset and illustrative material in support of climate change studies in the key regions of high northern latitudes. The dataset is built on an enhanced collection of observations spanning over a period from the end of the 19th century to 2012. It is based on in situ data that had been considerably improved (data addition, editing and quality control) within the framework of IODE's Global Oceanographic Data Archeology and Rescue Project (GODAR). The geographic region of the Atlas is bounded by 60° N - 82° N, 45° W - 70° E and thus includes, entirely or partly, eight seas"--Abstract. doi:10.7289/V5K64G16 (http://dx.doi.org/10.7289/V5K64G16), NODC dataset doi: 10.7289/V54B2Z78 (http://dx.doi.org/10.7289/V54B2Z78) G.

The Atlas is based on data collected from more than 500,000 stations between the years 1900 and 2012. It contains decadal, periodic, annual and monthly climatological fields for water temperature, salinity, and density on a 0.25-degree grid at different depths. In addition to the climatological maps, time-depth diagrams of all parameters, including oxygen, at twelve selected areas covered by long-term observational programs, are available"--Publication's website.
