Description
The annually binned Sea Surface Salinity data set covers a large part of the Atlantic Ocean (75°W-10°E, 20°S-70°N). It is based on salinity near-surface data collected since December 1895 to 2016 from all data sources, including Voluntary Observing Ships subsequently validated. This annual product presents Atlantic SSS 32 grid box anomaly and error time-series (for boxes 1 to 26, year 2016 not smoothed 1-2-1), as well as Atlantic SSS grid box coordinates and March-May mean climatology. The SSS binned time series are an update from the 1896-2013 time series (Friedman et al., 2017).
