World Ocean Database Project - 4

Fig. 1 GISS Temperature Anomalies

The heating up of the 'surface' of the planet means that, since the oceans make up about 71% of that surface, the surfaces of the oceans are receiving a record amount of solar radiation at their surfaces (Earth sees hottest-ever March, the 10th record-breaking month in a row, Broken record: March is 10th straight month to be hottest on record, scientists say).

Since there have been ten "record-breaking" months in a row, I thought I would focus on the surface area in combination with the GISS temperature anomalies (Fig. 1).

The World Ocean Database (WOD) contains a dataset which focuses on the surface only (SURF_ALL.gz), so, I blended the two (GISS surface anomaly, WOD surface only measurements) datasets together to see what that would look like.

The graphs are shown in the appendices (Count Info, layer_03, layer_04, layer_05, layer_06, layer_07, layer_08, layer_09, layer_10, layer_11, layer_12, layer_13, layer_14). 

The "Count Info" appendix contains a graphic showing the layers and zones of the WOD datasets in latitude, longitude format.

I am currently placing the surface only data into ocean areas format with all of the other depths a la (The Photon Current, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).

Those were 33 depth situations that were featured in recent posts here on Dredd Blog, so, in essence the picture has changed to 34 depths.

The previous post in this series is here.

As shown below, the quantity of in situ ("taken in place") measurements compared to the quantity of calculated values is small. Only zones with one or more in situmeasurements are used. There were 212 zones in this WOD table that had zero surface measurements.

WOD Layers (red), Zones (black)

The in situ measurements are used to "seed" the locations that otherwise would only have the tiny GISS anomaly values there (see Fig. 1 on the main page for a graph of those anomaly values).

Positive anomaly values at each location are added to that seed value, negative anomaly values are subtracted from that seed value to derive an estimated surface temperature.

That process takes place in each direction away from the seed value, producing a new seed value for each year in the past as well as in the future (from the perspective of the original seed value or values locations). The term "row" means a temperature value in the WOD database.
