Annually binned Sea Surface Salinity, Temperature and Density in the North Atlantic subpolar gyre (40°N-70°N)

The annually binned Sea Surface Salinity, Temperature and Density data set covers a large part of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre. It is based on T and S near-surface data collected since December 1895 to August 2018 from all data sources, including Voluntary Observing Ships subsequently validated. This annual product presents deviations from a climatological seasonal cycle and has furthermore been smoothed in time with a 1/4, 1/2, 1/4 running-mean filter. Density time series are estimated from those annual time series, considering winter (D-J-F) climatology. Uncertainty estimates due to sampling are also provided. Data for December 2017-August 2018 are also reported as 2018, but are temporary and should not be used without further check. Long gaps have been filled by linear interpolation, and are attributed largest error.
