Greenland, Iceland and Norwegian Seas Regional Climatology Data

Temperature (°C)
Salinity (unitless)

The Greenland, Iceland and Norwegian Seas (GINS) Regional Climatology version 3 contains objectively analyzed and statistical data at 102 standard depth levels of 1.0°, 0.25°, and 0.10° resolution for temperature and salinity.

Temperature and salinity high-resolution decadal climatologies were generated for the following time periods: 1955-1964, 1965-1974, 1975-1984, 1985-1994, 1995-2004, 2005-2014, and 2015-2022.

These decadal climatologies were generated from GINS regional data in the World Ocean Database (WOD) collected from 1955 to 2022. The source datasets are described in WOD2023.

The data fields are presented in native ASCII, comma separated value (CSV), ArcGIS compatible (shapefiles) and Climate-Forecast (CF) compliant netCDF formats.
