Journal ArticleDOI
A long-term record of blended satellite and in situ sea-surface temperature for climate monitoring, modeling and environmental studies
TL;DR: In this article, a blended sea-surface temperature (SST) data set that is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Data Record (CDR) program suite is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global temperature change and its uncertainties since 1861
Chris K. Folland,Nick Rayner,Simon J. Brown,Thomas M. Smith,Samuel S. P. Shen,D. E. Parker,Ian Macadam,Philip Jones,Roger Jones,Neville Nicholls,David M. H. Sexton +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the first analysis of global and hemispheric surface warming trends that attempts to quantify the major sources of uncertainty, such as urbanization, changing land-based observing practices and SST bias corrections.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Global Merged Land–Air–Sea Surface Temperature Reconstruction Based on Historical Observations (1880–1997)
TL;DR: In this article, a merged land-air-sea surface temperature reconstruction analysis is developed for monthly anomalies, and the reconstruction is global and spatially complete, and it is shown that the average reconstruction is similar to simple averages of the unanalyzed data for most of the analysis period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvements of the Daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (DOISST) Version 2.1
Boyin Huang,Chunying Liu,Viva Banzon,Eric Freeman,Garrett Graham,Bill Hankins,Thomas M. Smith,Huai-Min Zhang +7 more
TL;DR: The DOISST v2.0.1 dataset as discussed by the authors is an upgraded version of version 2.0, which is derived from merging BUFR and TAC, as well as by including Argo observations above 5m depth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interdecadal Changes of 30-Yr SST Normals during 1871–2000
TL;DR: In this article, a new 30-yr normal for the 1971-2000 base period is constructed, and the interdecadal changes of seasonal CM, seasonal SD, and seasonal persistence are discussed.
