mld1x1.dat (File 9)

This file provides a mixed layer depths (1° × 1° grid) calculated for each month of the year. The file is sorted by longitude and latitude and can be read by using the following FORTRAN 77 code [contained in mld1x1.for (File 4)]:

The variables are defined as follows:

lon - is the longitude for which MLDs were calculated;

lat - is the latitude for which MLDs were calculated;

max - is the year maximum MLD;

jan-dec - is the calculated MLD for each month of the year.
