This data sheet consists of 36 columns, including latitude,
longitude, sea surface temperature(SST, Jan-Dec), sea surface
salinity(SSS, Jan-Dec), Calculated total alkalinity from January
through December (TA, Jan-Dec).

Surface Total alkalinity fields were estimated from five regional TA
relationships presented in Lee et al. [GRL, 2006, V33, L19605, doi:
10.1029/2006GL027207], along with monthly mean sea surface temperature
and salinity from the World Ocean Atlas 2001.

The pixel with -999.9 TA value means that its temperature and salinity
are out of the calculation ranges of equations.
