They were converted to GHRSST Data Specification 2.0-compliant netCDF-4 along with required ancillary data and metadata and transferred to this accession. Files in this accession: 0-data/ - 12 monthly harmonic climatology files in netCDF-4 File-naming convention for netCDF files: [0000][MMDD][HHMMSS]-NODC-L4_GHRSST-SSTskin-AVHRR_Pathfinder-PFV5.0_Monthly_Climatology_1982_2008_DayNightCombined-v02.0-fv[##.#].nc 0000 - representative year of analysis (climatological year) MMDD - representative month and day of analysis, e.g. 0630 for June 30 of the climatological year HHMMSS - representative time (6-digit hour, minute and second) of analysis. ##.# - file version, e.g. 01.0 0-data/Classic/ - 12 monthly classic climatology files in HDF4 (used to gap-fill the harmonic climatology and for standard deviation information) File-naming convention for HDF files: month[##].pfv5sst.hdf ## - 2-digit month, with values from 1-12
