The Canadian Gravity Anomaly Data Base consists of approximately 660 000 gravity observations, including 165 000 on land, acquired between 1944 and the present. The data spacing ranges from less than 1 km to over 20 km, with an average spacing between 5 and 10 km. All measurements were reduced to the IGSN71 datum. Theoretical gravity values were calculated from the Geodetic Reference System 1967 (GRS67) gravity formula. Bouguer anomalies were calculated using a vertical gravity gradient of 0.3086 mGal·m-1 and a crustal density of 2 670 kg·m-3.

A spot height identifies the elevation (z value) above sea level of natural and man-made geographic features. It includes: * spot heights * vertical control points * water level/lake elevations This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

Description:Seasonal mean salinity from the British Columbia continental margin model (BCCM) were averaged over the 1993 to 2020 period to create seasonal mean climatology of the Canadian Pacific Exclusive Economic Zone.Methods:Salinities at up to forty-six linearly interpolated vertical levels from surface to 2400 m and at the sea bottom are included. Spring months were defined as April to June, summer months were defined as July to September, fall months were defined as October to December, and winter months were defined as January to March. The data available here contain raster layers of seasonal salinity climatology for the Canadian Pacific Exclusive Economic Zone at 3 km spatial resolution and 47 vertical levels.Uncertainties:Model results have been extensively evaluated against observations (e.g. altimetry, CTD and nutrient profiles, observed geostrophic currents), which showed the model can reproduce with reasonable accuracy the main oceanographic features of the region including salient features of the seasonal cycle and the vertical and cross-shore gradient of water properties. However, the model resolution is too coarse to allow for an adequate representation of inlets, nearshore areas, and the Strait of Georgia.
