The SDC_BAL_TS_statistics_DP1 contains temperature and salinity means and standard deviation at different depths in basins in the Baltic Sea for every month. Based on the SeaDataCloud historical dataset SDC_BAL_DATA_TS_V2 covering the period 1900 – 2019 and merged with the Coriolis ocean dataset for reanalysis (CORA) dataset (https://www.seanoe.org/data/00351/46219/).

The SeaDataCloud Temperature and Salinity historical data collection for the Baltic Sea V2 includes open access in situ data on temperature and salinity of water column. The data were retrieved from the SeaDataNet infrastructure during summer 2019. Data have been quality controlled according to the SeaDataNet2 project QC procedures in conjunction with the visual expert check using the ODV software. The final number of stations in the collection is 481695, containing around 14.4 million values for both temperature and salinity. The dataset format is ODV binary collection which you can read, analyse and export from with the ODV application provided by the Alfred Wegener institute at http://odv.awi.de/.

The SDC_BAL_CLIM_TS_V2 product contains temperature and salinity climatologies for the Baltic Sea, including seasonal and monthly fields for the period 1955-2018 and seasonal and monthly fields for 6 decades starting from 1955 to 2018. The climatological fields were computed from a merged Baltic Sea data set that combines data extracted from two major sources: 1) SeaDataNet infrastructure and 2) Coriolis Ocean Dataset for Reanalysis. The computation was done with the DIVAnd (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis in n dimensions), version 2.6.3.
