Greenland, Iceland and Norwegian Seas Regional Climatology Figures

The Greenland, Iceland and Norwegian Seas Regional Climatology (GINs RC) version 3 consist of 1.0°, 0.25°, and 0.10° mean fields for temperature and salinity.

Temperature and salinity high-resolution decadal climatologies were generated for the following time periods: 1955–64, 1965–74, 1975–84, 1985–94, 1995–2004, 2005–2014, and 2015-2022.

The fields used to generate these climatological maps were computed by objective analysis of all scientifically quality-controlled historical data in the World Ocean Database 2023.

Visually impaired users can use the Greenland, Iceland and Norwegian Seas Regional Climatology Data application for accessible versions of this data.
