本文给出了30年(1971-2000年)欧洲西北陆架海表层和近床区的温盐气候学，分辨率为经度1/6度×纬度1/10度。这些数据摘自国际海洋探索理事会数据中心，并补充了来自世界海洋数据中心的补充记录。根据空间和时间上不规则分布的原始数据，计算了月平均温度和盐度，以及气候平均年周期。这里介绍的气候学是对文献中关于欧洲西北部大陆架的所有现有气候学的改进；在更精细的尺度上覆盖更广泛的区域，并包括温度和盐度的表层和近海床分布。我们的数据与现有气候学的比较显示出很好的一致性，在气候学有所改善的地方出现了差异。这一气候学将被证明对海洋界的许多用户很有价值，将定期更新，并通过ICES数据中心向所有用户提供。皇冠版权所有(C)2009由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
A 30-year (1971-2000) temperature and salinity climatology is presented for surface and near-bed regions of the NW European shelf seas, with a resolution of 1/6 degrees longitude by 1/10 degrees latitude. The data have been extracted from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) data centre and supplemented by additional records from the World Ocean Data Centre (WODC). From the original data, which are irregularly distributed in space and time, the mean monthly temperature and salinity are calculated, as well as the climatic mean annual cycle. The climatology presented here is an improvement upon all existing climatologies presented in the literature for the NW European shelf; covering a wider area on a finer scale and including the surface and near-bed distribution of both temperature and salinity. Comparison of our data with existing climatologies shows good agreement, with differences occurring where our climatology is an improvement. This climatology; which will prove to be valuable to many users in the marine community, will be regularly updated and made available to all users via the ICES data centre.
