mld1x1.dat (File 9)
This file provides a mixed layer depths (1° × 1° grid) calculated for each month of the year. The file is sorted by longitude and latitude and can be read by using the following FORTRAN 77 code [contained in mld1x1.for (File 4)]:
REAL lon, lat, max, jan, feb, mar, apr, may, jun, jul REAL aug, sep, oct, nov, dec read (1, 10, end=999) lon, lat, max, jan, feb, mar, 1 apr, may, jun, jul, aug, sep, oct, nov, dec 10 format (F8.2, 1X, F7.2, 1X, F8.4, 1X, F8.4, 1X, F8.4, 1 1X, F8.4, 1X, F8.4, 1X, F8.4, 1X, F8.4, 1X, F8.4, 1X, 2 F8.4, 1X, F8.4, 1X, F8.4, 1X, F8.4, 1X, F8.4)

| lon | - | is the longitude for which MLDs were calculated; |
| lat | - | is the latitude for which MLDs were calculated; |
| max | - | is the year maximum MLD; |
| jan-dec | - | is the calculated MLD for each month of the year. |
