Summary

Abstract: This data consists of:
(1) Surface data. These include all data collected at depths of <10m from
the bottle, CTD and underway/pump data. The number of observations in
the selected area is about 1.18 million for the period 1890-2002.

(2) Bottle and low resolution CTD data. These are available for the
period 1900-1994. There are about 462,000 profiles
