Surface Water Temperature, Summer, Gridded [Ashjian]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/255.056

Summary
This data set contains the surface water temperature from the Pacific Marine
Arctic Regional Synthesis (PacMARS) conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD)
compilation to a grid of 0.5 degrees. Measurements were taken on latitude from
63.5 to 78 degrees north and 2 degrees and longitude from -180 to -135 degrees
east. There are three columns in the file: longitude, latitude, and
temperature (degrees C). Missing values are denoted as NaN. There are no
temperatures at latitudes greater than 75 degrees north. These data were
collected in July through September.
