Figure 2. Response function of the WOA18, WOA13, WOA09, WOA05, WOA01, WOA98, WOA94, and Levitus (1982) objective analysis schemes.
Radii of influence used in the objective analysis for the one-degree and quarter-degree climatologies.
Response function of the objective analysis scheme as a function of wavelength for WOA18 and earlier analyses. Response function is normalized to 1.0.

This atlas consists of a description of data analysis procedures and horizontal maps of climatological distribution fields of temperature at selected standard depth levels of the World Ocean on one-degree and quarter-degree latitude-longitude grids. The aim of the maps is to illustrate large-scale characteristics of the distribution of ocean temperature. The fields used to generate these climatological maps were computed by objective analysis of all scientifically quality-controlled historical temperature data in the World Ocean Database 2018. Maps are presented for climatological composite periods (annual, seasonal, monthly, seasonal and monthly difference fields from the annual mean field, and the number of observations) at 102 standard depths.

... Panel (b) shows pressure and surface wind pattern in boreal winter (right top panel) and in boreal summer (right bottom panel). Average annual surface temperature and surface salinity from the World Ocean Atlas 2018 (Boyer et al., 2018) plotted using Ocean Data View (ODV) (Schlitzer, 2023). ITF = Indonesian throughflow; LC = Leeuwin Current; NEC = North Equatorial Current; SEC = South Equatorial Current; EUC = Equatorial Undercurrent; CC = California Current. 4 of 28 summer, due to the low pressure over the Pilbara in northwest Australia, where local insolation heats the land, wind originating from the north-west as a part of south Asian monsoon, brings moisture from the Indian Ocean to northwest Australia, leading to high precipitation and increased riverine sediment load into the ocean (Chang et al., 2006;Suppiah, 1992). ...
