The Operational Sea Surface Temperature and Ice Analysis (OSTIA) system generates global, daily, gap-filled foundation sea surface temperature (SST) fields from satellite data in situ observations. SSTs have uncertainty information provided with them an ice concentration (IC) analysis is also produced. Additionally, a hourly diurnal skin SST product output each day. run near real time to produce for use applications such as numerical weather prediction. Data production monitored routinely...
Abstract A 42-year climate data record of global sea surface temperature (SST) covering 1980 to 2021 has been produced from satellite observations, with a high degree independence in situ measurements. Observations twenty infrared and two microwave radiometers are used, adjusted for their differing times day measurement avoid aliasing ensure observational stability. total 1.5 × 10 13 locations processed, yielding 1.4 12 SST observations deemed be suitable applications. The corresponding...
Abstract The Met Office in the United Kingdom has developed a completely new probabilistic postprocessing system called IMPROVER to operate on outputs from its operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) forecasts and precipitation nowcasts. aim is improve forecast information public other stakeholders while better exploiting current future generations of underpinning kilometer-scale NWP ensembles. We wish provide seamless nowcasting medium range, consistency between gridded site-specific...
Abstract The Northwest European shelf experienced unprecedented surface temperature anomalies in June 2023 (anomalies up to 5 °C locally, north of Ireland). Here, we show the average underwent its longest recorded category II marine heatwave (16 days). With state-of-the-art observation and modelling capabilities, developed quickly due strong atmospheric forcing (high level sunshine, weak winds, tropical air) wave activity under anticyclonic weather regimes. Once formed, this shallow fed back...
The European Union funded the FLARECAST project, that ran from January 2015 until February 2018. had a research-to-operations (R2O) focus, and accordingly introduced several innovations into discipline of solar flare forecasting. were: first, treatment hundreds physical properties viewed as promising predictors on equal footing, extending multiple previous works; second, use fourteen (14) different machine learning techniques, also to optimize immense Big Data parameter space created by...
<strong class="journal-contentHeaderColor">Abstract.</strong> Climate change is causing extreme climate events to become more frequent and severe. Marine heatwaves (MHWs) marine cold spells (MCSs) are prolonged, discrete periods of anomalously high or low ocean temperatures with wide-ranging impacts from dramatic shifts in biodiversity changes fishery yields. Previous research has found that MHWs increasing frequency intensity, but MCSs remain less well understood. We used sea surface...
Over the past few decades, oceans have stored majority of excess heat in climate system resulting from anthropogenic emissions. An accurate, long-term sea surface temperature (SST) dataset is essential for monitoring and researching changes to global oceans. A variety SST datasets been produced by various institutes over years, here, we present a new data record originally within Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (which therefore named CMEMS v2.0) assess: (1) its accuracy...
Sea surface temperature (SST) data from the and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR) onboard Sentinel-3 satellites have been used in Met Office’s Operational Ice Analysis (OSTIA) since 2019 (Sentinel-3A SST March Sentinel-3B December 2019). The impacts of using SLSTR SSTs as reference sensor for bias correction other satellite assessed independent Argo float data. Combining Sentinel-3A -3B SLSTRs with two Visible Infrared Imaging Suite (VIIRS) sensors (onboard joint NASA/NOAA Suomi...
