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...
Abstract The NOAA Daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature dataset (DOISST) has recently been updated to v2.1 (January 2016–present). Its accuracy may impact the climate assessment, monitoring and prediction, environment-related applications. performance, together with those of seven other well-known sea surface temperature (SST) products, is assessed by comparison buoy Argo observations in global oceans on daily 0.25° × resolution from January 2016 June 2020. These SST products...
Abstract Studies have indicated that marine heatwaves (MHWs) had severe impacts on the ecosystem in Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans, but there been few studies focused MHWs Arctic. 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...
Abstract NOAA Daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (DOISST) and other similar sea surface temperature (SST) products indicate that the globally averaged SST set a new daily record in March 2023. The record‐high was immediately broken April, records were again July August anomaly (SSTA) persisted at high from mid‐March to remainder of Our analysis indicates SSTs, associated marine heatwaves (MHWs) even super‐MHWs, are attributed three factors: (a) long‐term warming trend, (b)...
Abstract Our study shows that the intercomparison among sea surface temperature (SST) products is influenced by choice of SST reference, and interpolation products. The influence reference depends on whether SSTs are averaged to a grid or in pointwise situ locations, including buoy Argo observations, filtered first-guess climatology quality control (QC) algorithms. their original grids preprocessed into common coarse grids. impacts these factors demonstrated our assessments eight widely used...
Introduction Few US studies have examined the usefulness of participatory surveillance during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic for enhancing local health response efforts, particularly in rural settings. We report on development and implementation an internet-based COVID-19 tool Appalachia. Methods A regional collaboration among public partners culminated design Self-Checker, a online symptom tracker. The collected data participant demographic characteristics history. County...
Abstract The 1991–2020 climate normals for sea surface temperature (SST) are computed based on the NOAA Daily Optimum Interpolation SST dataset. This is first time that high‐resolution with global coverage can be achieved in satellite era. Normals one of fundamental parameters describing and understanding weather provide decision‐making information to industry, public, scientific communities. product suite includes mean, standard deviation, count extreme at daily, monthly, seasonal annual...
NOAA's Daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (DOISST) indicates that globally averaged sea surface temperature (SST) broke record in March 2023 and set new highs April, July, August 2023.This has raised intense media interest public concern about causes connections to climate change.Our analysis the high SSTs qualified as marine heatwaves (MHWs) even super-MHWs defined this study, are attributed three factors: (i) a linear trend, (ii) shift warm phase of multi-decadal...
