An Improved In Situ and Satellite SST Analysis for Climate
TL;DR: A weekly 1° spatial resolution optimum interpolation (OI) sea surface temperature (SST) analysis has been produced at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) using both in situ and satellite data from November 1981 to the present as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Richard W. Reynolds,Thomas M. Smith,Chunying Liu,Dudley B. Chelton,Kenneth S. Casey,Michael G. Schlax +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two new high-resolution sea surface temperature (SST) analysis products have been developed using optimum interpolation (OI), which have a spatial grid resolution of 0.25° and a temporal resolution of 1 day.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvements to NOAA’s Historical Merged Land–Ocean Surface Temperature Analysis (1880–2006)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors document recent improvements in NOAA's merged global surface temperature anomaly analysis, monthly, in spatial 5° grid boxes, with the greatest improvements in the late nineteenth century and since 1985.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved Global Sea Surface Temperature Analyses Using Optimum Interpolation
TL;DR: The new NOAA operational global sea surface temperature (SST) analysis is described in this paper, which uses 7 days of in situ (ship and buoy) and satellite SST.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature, Version 5 (ERSSTv5): Upgrades, Validations, and Intercomparisons

TL;DR: The most recent version of ICOADS (R3.0) has been updated and updated from version 4 to version 5 in this article, with more realistic spatiotemporal variations, better representation of high-latitude SSTs, and ship SST biases calculated relative to more accurate buoy measurements.
