Historical Sea Surface Salinity data in the Tropical Oceans

This compilation of Sea Surface Salinity data collected in the three tropical oceans (30°N–30°S) is derived mainly from 13 trans-oceanic Voluntary Observing Ships tracks and from 35 TAO/TRITON and 13 PIRATA mooring sites. Details about validation procedures can be found in the reference publication.
