Data description
- Sea-air CO2 flux (mol/m2/y) from OPA-NPZD model (Le Quere et al., 2003).
Mean,
detrended values.
- Sea-air pCO2 (uatm) from OPA-NPZD model (Le Quere et al., 2003)
Mean,
detrended values.
- SST (oC) based on satellite data (Reynolds and Smith 1994).
Mean,
detrended values.
- Sea Surface Height (SSH, cm) provided by the French CNES (Cabanes et al. 2002).
Mean,
detrended values.
- Sea-air CO2 flux (mol/m2/y) from an atmospheric CO2 inversion (Rdenbeck et al., 2003).
Mean,
detrended values.
- Surface Chla from SeaWiFS (mgChl/m3). Missing data are filled with a linear interpolation.
Mean,
detrended values.
- Mixed layer depth (m) estimated using the
WOA2001 monthly temperature data and departure from surface density by 0.125 g/l.
Missing data are filled with a linear interpolation
Salinity variations and not taken into account.
Mean,
detrended values.
- Detrended monthly mean heat content (10^9 J/m2) estimated using SSH from from
Cabanes et al. 2002.
See here for a description of method.
Detrended values.
- Annual mean heat content (10^9 J/m2) from Levitus et al., 2000.
Detrended values.
Detrended+deseasonalized values were calculated by applying a 12-month running
average for each month and removing the mean value
(i.e. in ferret: x_dtrend = x[t=@sbx:12] - x[t=@ave] ).
