Salinity 3-month period, pentadal, and yearly anomaly fields (ASCII and netCDF files)

Yearly, pentadal, and 3-month anomalies are mean differences for the given time period from monthly mean climatologies. To download the salinity anomaly files, you may download an individual file or a tar file of all years for a particular type of a parameter (i.e., all years of the salinity analyzed anomalies in one tar file). The WOA documentation includes information on downloading and reading the data.

3-month salinity anomalies from 2005-present
Depth range from surface to 2000 m (26 levels)

Yearly salinity anomalies from 2005 to 2022
Depth range from surface to 2000 m (26 levels)

Pentadal salinity anomalies from 1955-59 to 2018-22
Depth range from surface to 2000 m (26 levels)
