Centennial-Scale Sea Surface Temperature Analysis and Its Uncertainty
Description: A new sea surface temperature (SST) analysis on a centennial time scale is presented. In this analysis, a daily SST field is constructed as a sum of a trend, interannual variations, and daily changes, using in situ SST and sea ice concentration observations. All SST values are accompanied with theory-based analysis errors as a measure of reliability. An improved equation is introduced to represent the ice-SST relationship, which is used to produce SST data from observed sea ice concentrations. [Source: Journal of Climate]
