SEASONAL PLOTS:
Plots of 5 different pressure levels: (0, 50, 100, 200, 400 db)
each showing a property field: (sigma-0 (s0), salinity sa, theta th)
in 4 separate months: (feb, may, aug, nov)
These fields have been smoothed at 3deg (3 iterations of laplacian filter with weight factor = 0.5)
HYDROBASE2 SMOOTHING EFFECTS:
|
smoothA files: show a property with
no-smoothing, and smoothing radius of
1 °, 3 °, and 5 ° |
smoothB files: show a property with
smoothing radius of 7 ° and 10 °
plus the same fields from the SAC (Hamburg group)
and World Ocean Atlas 1998 climatologies |
COMPARISON OF HYDROBASE2/SAC/WOA98
Each shows a property field on a horizontal surface derived from each of the 1-degree climatology products.
These are straight comparisons -- what you see is what you get.
Sorry that the contour labels didn't come out at this size scale.
The contours are, of course, identical amongst the various plots.
comp.bottom_theta.pdf:
Potential temperatures at the ocean bottom. Colors depict temperatures
colder than 2.0 ° C. Thin black contours are at 0.2 ° C up to 3.0 ° C. Heavy black contours
denote isotherms at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 ° C.
The extra panel shows the HydroBase2 field gridded at 1/2 ° resolution.
