Monthly Mean SST Charts (1984-1998)

A satellite-only monthly mean time series of SST at 36 km resolution has been provided by Al Strong (ORA/ORAD) based on only nighttime SST satellite observations. These datasets, based on NESDIS's AVHRR data, have been accumulated into weekly means (U of Miami - RSMAS) and provided to NASA-JPL for distribution. Some SST monthly means are omitted due to contamination by volcanic aerosols (1981-1983 and some of 1991-1992 due to the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo).

Anomaly Charts (1984-1998)

A satellite-only climatology has been provided at 36 km resolution by Al Strong (ORA). We are providing the SST climatology monthly mean anomaly images for the full dataset as provided by Al Strong at the full 36 km resolution. Data for years 1981-1983 and 1991-1992 are eliminated due to volcanic aerosol contamination..
