Title: Global ocean seasonal statistics for temperature, salinity and other variables from 1978-01-01 to 1978-12-31 (NCEI Accession 8500063)
Abstract: This dataset contains seasonal statistics by five-degree squares of temperature, salinity, oxygen, oxygen saturation, potential density, and specific volume. The number of observations, mean, and standard deviation of each parameter for each season are given at each standard level from the sea surface through a depth of 4000m.
