~2 minute
grid, smoothed version of the USGS 15 second bathymetric grid (from K.
|
|
Smith, WHOI)
|
|
|
Objective
analysis for 12 months (calculated for the 15th of each month)
|
|
nine z-layers
(1m-10m-20m-30m-40m-50m-100m-150m-200m)
|
|
calculated as
z ±5 (0-5, 5-15, 15-25, 25-35, 35-45, 45-55, 95-105, 145-155, 195-205)
|
|
Computed based
on relative weightings of x, y, z, date, Temperature, Salinity, and
|
|
log(bathymetry)
to retain some separation across frontal zones and along the
|
|
shallower
contours
|
|
|
Gaussian
weighting function for all parameters; standard deviations for each
