Brief description
The CSIRO Atlas of Regional Seas (CARS) is a digital climatology, or atlas of seasonal ocean water properties. CARS2006 spans the southern 2/3 of the world's oceans, from 70S to 26N, except in the Atlantic where is reaches only to 10N. The six water properties mapped in are temperature, salinity, oxygen, nitrate, silicate, phosphate. It comprises historic mean fields and average seasonal cycles, derived from all available historical subsurface ocean property measurements (primarily research vessel instrument casts and autonomous profiling buoys).Data time period: 31 12 1940 to 31 12 2006
