CSIRO Atlas of Regional Seas (CARS) (also "CARS2000")

CARS is a set of seasonal maps of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, phosphate and silicate, generated using Loess mapping from all available oceanographic data in the region. It covers the region 100-200E, 50-0S, on a 1/2 degree grid, and on 56 standard depth levels. The data was obtained from the World Ocean Atlas 98 and CSIRO Marine and NIWA archives. It was designed to improve on the Levitus WOA98 Atlas, in the Australian region. This CARS2000 is now superseded by CARS2006
