GHRSST Reanalysis/GCOS SST-SI Diagnostics - Descriptive Diagnostics for Historical Data Sets

For ease of display on this website, the Phase One metrics have been divided into two tables: one of "Time-dependent Diagnostics" and one of "Map Diagnostics". Time-dependent diagnostics include those with time on the x-axis; map diagnostics are on a latitude-longitude grid.

GCOS Historical Monthly Five Degree SST Anomalies - Time-dependent Diagnostics
Data Set Name Global and Hemispheric Time Series Time-Latitude Sections
HadSST2 X O X O
HadISST1 X O X O
ERSSTv3 X O X O
Kaplan X O X O
ICOADS X O X O
COBE X O X O
Composite: Global X O Not Applicable
Composite: Northern Hemisphere X O Not Applicable
Composite: Southern Hemisphere X O Not Applicable
Elements designated by an "X" are anomalies calculated relative to a common climatology (Pathfinder Q==7). Elements designated by an "O" are anomalies calculated for each data set relative to its own climatology.

Elements designated by an "X" are anomalies calculated relative to a common climatology (Pathfinder Q==7). Elements designated by an "O" are anomalies calculated for each data set relative to its own climatology.
*Linear Trend is calculated using annual SST anomalies relative to each data set's own climatology.
