The binned Sea Surface Salinity, Temperature and Density data set covers regularly sampled ship-of-opportunity lines. It is based on data collected from 1993 to 2018 from Voluntary Observing Ships subsequently validated. This monthly product is binned with monthly total values deviations and then deviations from climatology in each bin, with additional 1-2-1 time filter applied on the averages. Along B-AX01, some gaps were filled with additional data located one degree north or south of the grid boxes.

X-TRACK, is a regional altimeter products for coastal applications. It has been developed in order to optimize the completeness and the accuracy of the sea surface height information derived from satellite altimetry in coastal ocean areas. 1hz alongtrack SLA are available in 23 regions for different altimetric missions (Topex, Jason-1&2, Geosat, Ers2, Envisat). SLA is computed on a reference track. X-TRACK SLA files hold alongtrack SLA data together with MSSH, FES2012 tide, Dynamic Atmospheric Corrections and distance to coast parameters. Users can both retrieve filtered and non-filtered data.

The annually binned Sea Surface Salinity, Temperature and Density data set covers a large part of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre. It is based on T and S near-surface data collected since December 1895 to August 2018 from all data sources, including Voluntary Observing Ships subsequently validated. This annual product presents deviations from a climatological seasonal cycle and has furthermore been smoothed in time with a 1/4, 1/2, 1/4 running-mean filter. Density time series are estimated from those annual time series, considering winter (D-J-F) climatology. Uncertainty estimates due to sampling are also provided. Data for December 2017-August 2018 are also reported as 2018, but are temporary and should not be used without further check. Long gaps have been filled by linear interpolation, and are attributed largest error.
