Monthly NMC Mean Sea Surface Temperatures (SST) Anomaly from JCOMMProducts Bulletin at LDEO/IRI Climate Data Library

The monthly optimum interpolation (OI) fields are derived by a linear interpolation of the weekly OI fields to daily fields then averaging the daily values over a month. The monthly fields are in the same format and spatial resolution as the weekly fields. The anomalies (SSTA) are computed from these monthly fields. Data from the Joint World Meteorological Organization/Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Technical Commision for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM) Products Bulletin Data Products. The organization was formally known as the Integrated Global Ocean Services System (IGOSS) Data Products Bulletin.
