Black Sea gridded decadal annual climatology for cold intermediate layer (CIL) cold content (CCC) (1/8°, 56 sliding decades) based on the collection of temperature and salinity profiles spanning 65 years (1955–2019).The CCC climatological fields were computed from the merged Black Sea dataset that combines data extracted from 3 major sources: 1) SeaDataNet infrastructure, 2) World Ocean Database, and 3) Coriolis Ocean Dataset for Reanalysis. The computation was done with the DIVAnd (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis in n dimensions), version 2.6.2. The product was developed in framework of SeaDataCloud project, EC H2020 grant #730960. For data access please register at http://www.marine-id.org/.

The Black Sea gridded monthly climatology for cold intermediate layer (CIL) cold content (CCC) (1/8°, 12 months) based on the collection of temperature and salinity profiles spanning 35 years (1955–1999).The CCC climatological fields were computed from the merged Black Sea dataset that combines data extracted from 3 major sources: 1) SeaDataNet infrastructure, 2) World Ocean Database, and 3) Coriolis Ocean Dataset for Reanalysis.

The SDC_BLS_CLIM_TS_V2 product contains Temperature and Salinity Climatologies for Black Sea including the seasonal and monthly fields for period 1955-2019 and seasonal fields for 6 decades starting from 1955 to 2019. The climatic fields were computed from the integrated Black Sea dataset that combines data extracted from the 3 major sources: 1) SeaDataNet infrastructure, 2) World Ocean Database, and 3) Coriolis Ocean Dataset for Reanalysis. The computation was done with the DIVAnd (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis in n dimensions), version 2.6.4.

The SDC_BLS_CLIM_TS_V1 product contains Temperature and Salinity Climatologies for Black Sea including the seasonal and monthly fields for period 1955-2017 and seasonal fields for 6 decades starting from 1955 to 2014. The climatic fields were computed from the integrated Black Sea dataset that combines data extracted from the 3 major sources: 1) SeaDataNet infrastructure, 2) World Ocean Database 2018, and 3) Coriolis Ocean Dataset for Reanalysis. The computation was done with the DIVAnd (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis in n dimensions), version 2.3.1.
