Hadley Centre Global Sea Ice and Sea Surface Temperature (HadISST)
|
|
This dataset includes HadISST1 and HadSST2 from UK Hadley Centre.
HadISST1 is a unique combination of monthly globally-complete fields
of SST and sea ice concentration on a 1 degree latitude-longitude grid
from 1870 to date, and HadSST2 is a monthly global field of SST on a 5 dgrees
latitude-longitude grid from 1850 to date, neither interpolated
nor variance adjusted.
The data may also be obtained from the server at the
Hadley Centre in the UK. The NCAR datasets are both available from the Mass Storage System (MSS) and HadISST1 data are also available online.
