10-day Depth Bin Averages
Available via FTP

Data from each ocean salinity buoy are summarized here in statistical form, in averaged bins of ten-meters depth and ten-days duration, with average position, atmospheric pressure, and air temperature. The ocean bins show a mean depth, temperature, conductivity, salinity, and sigma-theta (density), with the standard deviation to indicate the variability of each variable. The average data is in ASCII text, one file per buoy. The text ReadMe file contains more information and itemizes an example.

Here is header information from the first and last ten-day period for each buoy, listed in order of deployment–
