Gallery: Sea Surface Salinity in the North Atlantic Ocean
optimum interpolation (OI) analysis
of Aquarius Version 4 sea surface salinity data for the North Atlantic Ocean. This analysis is intended to
reduce the long-wavelength, inter-beam and ascending-descending biases which have been present in Aquarius data, as well as improve the
accuracy of surface salinity maps in the SPURS region.
Weekly OI sea surface data (netCDF files) can be downloaded from the International Pacific Research Center here.
