Extended Data Fig. 1

onal mean differences in a, temperature, b, salinity, and c, density between 2014–2019 combined Argo and SOCCOM data, and pre-2005 shipboard data. The comparison is only shown where there is overlap between both datasets on an 8x3 horizontal grid. Solid and dashed lines show zonal mean shipboard and Argo/SOCCOM isopycnal surfaces respectively. Grey shows areas with insufficient data. Panel d shows the number of grid boxes per 3 degrees of latitude covered by the SOCCOM data only and by the Argo+SOCCOM data in the shipboard comparison. The stippling indicates where the differences are not significant at the 90% level. Panels e and f show the upper 1000 m difference between Argo+SOCCOM and pre-2005 shipboard data for temperature and salinity respectively. The stippling indicates where the differences are not significant at the 90% level.
