Environmental data of the Southern Ocean, 1955-2012
Environmental descriptors that are available for the study area (-180 degrees W/+180 degrees E; -45 degrees/-78 degrees S) and for the following periods: 1955-1964, 1965-1974, 1975-1984, 1985-1994, 1995-2012. They were compiled from different sources and transformed to the same grid resolution of 0.1 degree pixel. We also provide future projections for environmental descriptors established based on the Bio-Orable database (Tyberghein et al. 2012). They come from IPCC scenarii (B1, AIB, A2) for years 2100 and 2200 (IPCC, 4th report).

Resource lineage
- Statement
- Cell resolution was set up at 0.1 degree with R 3.3.0 software. These data needed to be corrected for precise depth accuracy. It was performed using ArcGIS and following the protocol proposed by Guillaumot et al. 2016. A seafloor temperature layer was generated based on available modelled temperatures for multiple depth layers of the water column. Due to missing data, some values were interpolated using the nearest neighbour method with Arctoolbox.
