The Monthly Mean Global Surface Ocean Variables data set consists of monthly mean averages of global sea surface temperature, sea surface height, significant wave height, chlorophyll-a concentration, surface wind speed, surface wind velocity and near-surface current. These data sets are associated with a series of printed atlases by Halpern et al. (1991, 1992a, 1992b, 1993a, 1993b, 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000). Please note that the years over which the monthly averages were calculated and the distance between measurements differ for each data set.
