SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE and Other Data from UNKNOWN PLATFORMS From World-Wide Distribution from 18700101 to 19781231 (NODC Accession 8800040)

Each file contains data on Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly analyses on a 1-degree square for each calender month of the period January 1870 through December 1894 (25 years) for the COADS project. Anomalies are based on 2-degree square mean SST's for each calender month. Mean SST's are derived from data screened from years 1854 through 1979. There are a total of 25 files. These data are part of the comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere set and were gathered by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Academia Sinica, Beijing, PRC.
