Abstract:
The time and space distribution of 74,256 ocean stations (temperature,
salinity, and oxygen) occupied in the Barents Sea during 1898-1993 is presented
on this CD-ROM . These data are recorded in a format designed for use in
electronic spreadsheets and/or databases. Monthly maps defining the station
distribution over the Barents Sea are given for every year. Monthly mean fields
of temperature and
... salinity distribution for the depths 0, 30, 50, 100, and 200
meters, with a grid distance of 10'x30' are plotted using objective analysis
techniques. A description of the summer and winter seasons is given in terms of
the spatial-temporal variability of thermohaline characteristics of the Barents
Sea.
The Atlas was written in Russian and translated into English. The authors have
attempted to retain the original character of the text as it was translated
into English. It is published in both Russian and English. The cited website
is also accessible in both Russian and English.
