The Arctic Ocean is an area of intense activity both for environmental and commercial interests. Climate change has disproportionally affected this region with rising ocean temperatures and continued loss of summer sea ice extent.

To facilitate study of the region we present a new set of high-resolution long-term mean surface/subsurface temperature and salinity fields. These mean fields incorporate a great deal of data not previously available.
