Ocean clustering

This this is a repository of information, code, and algorithms to be used for clustering and classification projects in ocean sciences.

The first version is based on different datasets resampled in space to the Darwin 1/2° grid and aggregated in time to monthly climatologies.

Datasets

Temperature

• Salinity
• Reflectance
• Chl
• Mixed layer depth Based on the Monthly Isopycnal / Mixed-layer Ocean Climatology (MIMOC) with a range from 80°S to 90°N, an 0.5° lateral resolution, and a monthly resolution in time. The fields are based mostly on Argo CTD data, supplemented by shipboard and Ice-Tethered Profiler CTD data. The products mostly reflect the modern ocean state, although they relax back to historic data from as early as the 1970s when no recent data are available for a region or season.
