Journal ArticleDOI
Adequacy of the In Situ Observing System in the Satellite Era for Climate SST
TL;DR: In this article, a method is presented to evaluate the adequacy of the recent in situ network for climate sea surface temperature (SST) analyses using both in situ and satellite observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
How Accurate Are Climate Simulations
TL;DR: Smith et al. as discussed by the authors found that today9s models are within the observed uncertainty, at least with respect to the 100-year record of observed global sea surface temperature, and they concluded that to ensure adequate future climate records, more attention must be given to limiting the growing dependent biases of today 9s climate records.
Journal ArticleDOI
Historical reconstruction of monthly oceanic precipitation (1900–2006)
TL;DR: In this paper, an oceanic precipitation reconstruction was developed and evaluated for periods extending back to as early as 1900, using the available network of historical gauge data fit to a set of large-scale covariance spatial modes based on modern analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, a 51-yr time series of surface chlorophyll, the pigment measured by ocean color satellites, was used to quantify how multidecadal, climate-scale patterns impact biological productivity.
