The World Ocean Atlas‐2013 (WOAV13) dataset comprises 3D global gridded climatological fields of absolute geostrophic velocity inverted from WOA13 temperature and salinity fields using the P‐vector method. It provides a climatological velocity field that is dynamically compatible to the WOA13 (T, S) fields. The WOAV13 has the same spatial resolution and temporal variation (annual, monthly, seasonal) as WOA13 (T, S) fields, but does not cover the equatorial zone (5°S–5°N) due to the geostrophic balance being the theoretical basis for the P‐vector inverse method.
