Dear Abhisek Chatterjee,

Goog job, it is very helpful  for  model data comparison for the Indian 
ocean.

We have just released a new climatology of temperature and salinity for the Indian Ocean. This climatology improves on the World Ocean Atlas 2009 (WOA) in the 
Indian Exclusive Economic Zone and the rest of the Bay of Bengal. 
Annual, seasonal, and monthly climatologies of temperature and salinity 
are available in two sets of files. The first set is for only the Indian Ocean, while the second set merges the new climatologies with WOA to 
produce merged global climatologies. In addition, we have prepared a 
seasonal climatology for the Indian Ocean based on a "monsoonal" 
definition of seasons.

The climatologies are available at 
http://www.nio.org/index/option/com_nomenu/task/show/tid/2/sid/18/id/229


The
 paper that describes this new climatology (Abhisek Chatterjee et al., A
 New Atlas of Temperature and Salinity for the North Indian Ocean) is in
 press and will be published shortly in the Journal of Earth System 
Science.

We hope you find this climatological atlas useful.



Regards,
Abhisek Chatterjee
