Long-Term Composite Image: 28-Aug-11 to 29-Nov-11
Alt Tag: Three-month average composite global image of sea surface salinity.
Description: Three-month average composite global image for the time period 28 August through 29 November 2011 using bias-drift corrected data. When compared to the initial 2.5-week average image released in September, the three-month average yields a much less noisy pattern which clearly shows major climatological salinity features and smaller scale structures.
