These widely circulated. The most noticeable problem we’ve found is the occasional appearance of spurious cold anomalies at thermocline depths. |

1Described in Carton et al. (2005). Available at monthly resolution from: iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu. 5-dy resolution data sets may also be obtained by special request. Finally, the potential user is reminded that the analysis is carried out on a non-Mercator coordinate grid and then mapped onto a regular Mercator grid (0.5 deg resolution). This mapping, done for the convenience of the user, means that you need to be careful if you compute certain kinds of integrals such as meridional heat transport.
2Described in Carton and Giese (2008). 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 are available at monthly resolution through apdrc.soest.hawaii.edu and also iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu
3These have not yet been described in one of our papers. Many products up to and including 2.2.4 are available at monthly resolution through apdrc.soest.hawaii.edu and several also through http://iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu. At each site you will need to search for SODA (I can't point you to the direct link since this changes). 2.0.2, 2.0.4, 2.1.6 and perhaps some later products have been made available through soda.tamu.edu, however the link is down as of this writing (7-30-13). Finally, a few products, including 2.2.0 are available through dsrs.atmos.umd.edu
