Ensemble Median Global sea surface temperature dataset from 1988-01-01 to 2019-02-28 (NCEI Accession 0187983)
Ensemble Median Global sea surface temperature (EMSST) is a daily SST dataset constructed by Nagoya University from an ensemble of 18 global SST products for the period from January 1, 1988 to February 28, 2019. The data set includes SST calculated as an ensemble median on each 0.25 degree by 0.25 degree grids over global ice-free oceans. The data set also includes an ensemble mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, number and kind of source products used.

Purpose | This dataset was constructed to support wide-range researchers in Oceanography, Meteorology and Climatology. They will need to know basic information about sea surface temperature. The significance of this data set is that the user can utilize the rich information obtained from the ensemble of multiple products rather than selecting one of the many global SST data sets. The use of EMSST also provides more robust SST information than using a single product by eliminating and reducing the random error components among products and excluding the effects of extreme values. Furthermore, as additional information, it is possible to obtain information on the average value, spread (standard deviation), maximum value, minimum value of source products. |
