This update incorporates a new release of ICOADS 3.0 (R3.0), decade near-surface data Argo floats, estimate centennial sea ice HadISST2. A number choices in aspects quality control, bias adjustment, interpolation have substantively revised. resulting ERSST estimates more realistic spatiotemporal variations, better representation high-latitude SSTs, ship...

Major revisions include updated and substantially more complete input data the International Comprehensive Ocean–Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) release 2.5; empirical orthogonal teleconnections (EOTs) EOT acceptance criterion; sea surface temperature (SST) quality control procedures; SST anomaly (SSTA) evaluation methods; bias...
Abstract The NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI Daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (SST), version 2.0, dataset (DOISST v2.0) is a blend of in situ ship and buoy SSTs with satellite derived from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR). DOISST v2.0 exhibited cold bias Indian, South Pacific, Atlantic Oceans that due to lack ingested drifting-buoy system, which resulted gradual data format change traditional alphanumeric codes (TAC) binary universal form for representation...
Much study has been devoted to the possible causes of an apparent decrease in upward trend global surface temperatures since 1998, a phenomenon that dubbed warming "hiatus." Here, we present updated temperature analysis reveals trends are higher than those reported by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, especially recent decades, and central estimate for rate during first 15 years 21st century is at least as great last half 20th century. These results do not support notion "slowdown"...
It is commonly believed that greenhouse‐gas‐induced global warming can weaken the east Asian winter monsoon but strengthen summer monsoon, because of stronger over high‐latitude land as compared to low‐latitude oceans. In this study, we show surface wind speed associated with has significantly weakened in both and recent three decades. From 1969 2000, annual mean China decreased steadily by 28%, prevalence windy days (daily > 5 m/s) 58%. The temperature trends during period have not been...
Abstract Described herein is the parametric and structural uncertainty quantification for monthly Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature (ERSST) version 4 (v4). A Monte Carlo ensemble approach was adopted to characterize uncertainty, because initial experiments indicate existence of significant nonlinear interactions. Globally, resulting exhibits a wider range before 1900, as well an maximum around World War II. Changes at smaller spatial scales in many regions, or important features...
Research and forecasts of the weather‐ocean‐climate system demand increasingly higher resolution forcing data. Here we assess improvement in composite global observations feasibility producing high blended sea winds. The number long‐term US surface wind speed observing satellites has increased from one July 1987 to five or more since 2000. Global 0.25° gridded, products with temporal resolutions 6‐hours, 12‐hours daily have become feasible mid 2002, 1995 January 1991, respectively (with ≥75%...
Abstract The uncertainty in Extended Reconstructed SST (ERSST) version 4 (v4) is reassessed based upon 1) reconstruction uncertainties and 2) an extended exploration of parametric uncertainties. (Ur) results from using a truncated (130) set empirical orthogonal teleconnection functions (EOTs), which yields inevitable loss information content, primarily at local level. Ur assessed 32 ensemble ERSST.v4 analyses with the spatially complete monthly Optimum Interpolation product. (Up) different...

Abstract The strength of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is often measured using a single, discrete value the Niño index. However, this method does not consider sea surface temperature (SST) uncertainty associated with observations and data processing. On basis Niño3.4 index its uncertainty, we find that three strongest ENSO events separable at 95% confidence level. monthly peak SST anomalies in most recent 2015–2016 tied 1997–1998 1982–1983 as strongest. negative values occur within...
Abstract Arctic sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are estimated mostly from satellite ice concentration (SIC) estimates. In regions with the SST is temperature of open water or under ice. A number different proxy estimates based on SIC have been developed. recent years more quality-control buoy SSTs become available, allowing better validation and development improved Here approaches evaluated an method shown. The were tested in analysis, showed reduced bias random errors compared to SSTs....
Abstract Global surface temperature changes are a fundamental expression of climate change. Recent, much-debated variations in the observed rate change have highlighted importance uncertainty adjustments applied to sea (SST) measurements. These compensate for systematic biases and observing protocol. Better quantification their uncertainties would increase confidence estimated provide higher-quality gridded SST fields use many applications. Bias been based on either physical models processes...
Since OceanObs'09, the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) has evolved from its traditional focus on ocean's role in global climate. GOOS now also encompasses operational services and marine ecosystem health, open ocean into coastal environments where much of world's population resides. This opened a field opportunity for new collaborations—across regions, communities, technologies—facilitating enhanced engagement observing enterprise to benefit all nations. Enhancement collaboration is...
Abstract The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) maintains an operational analysis for monitoring trends in global surface temperature. Because of limited polar coverage, the does not fully capture rapid warming Arctic over recent decades. Given impact coverage biases on trend assessments, we introduce a new that is spatially complete 1850–2018. uses air temperature data Ocean applies climate reanalysis fields spatial interpolation. Both show statistically significant...

In general, all show consistent spatial patterns temporal variability during overlapping time period (2003–18). The main differences each product are located in western boundary...
Abstract NOAA’s Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature (SST; ERSST) is operational global SST product based on in situ observations, which has been widely used monitoring and assessing ocean climate particularly El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. ERSSTv5 its predecessors, however, encountered two shortcomings: (1) low spatial-variabilities the data sparse regions before 1950s (2) performance scores against observations after 1970s. The first problem mitigated this Part study...
Abstract NOAA’s Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature (SST; ERSST) is a monthly 2° SST product starting from 1850. Our Part I study indicated that the performance scores of spatial correlation coefficient (SCC) and root-mean-square-difference (RMSD) dropped clearly after mid-1970s in analysis ERSST with an artificial neural network (ANN) method. In this II study, we demonstrate ANN method can further be improved progressively final ERSSTv6 by following steps: 1) applying nearest...
The difficulty in effectively evaluating sea surface temperature (SST) analyses is finding independent observations, since most available observations have been used the SST analyses. In this study, ocean profile measurements [from reverse thermometer, CTD, mechanical bathythermograph (MBT), and XBT] above 5-m depth over 1950–2016 from World Ocean Database (WOD) are (data labeled pSSTW). biases of MBT XBT corrected based on currently algorithms. bias-corrected pSSTW satellite-based European...

On other hand, amplified rapid warming Arctic region makes it a hotspot strategically economically worldwide. In this study, we documented average intensity of was comparable with regions global oceans. The annual intensity, frequency, duration, areal coverage increased significantly recent decades. increase...
