A new HadSST3 version has been recently published. It starts the process of unwinding Folland’s erroneous Pearl Harbour bucket adjustment, an adjustment that has been embedded in HadSST for nearly 20 years.

ICOADS – Hawaii

Unfortunately, there don’t seem to be any statistical analyses of SST measurements […]

I’ve been foraging through ICOADS SST data for the past week and have a number of posts in progress. Here’s a diagram that I’m planning to do several comments on. It shows information on the provenance of ICOADS data between 1850, the start of the HadCRU SST record, and the present. It is very obvious […]

ICOADS SST Data

Mar 17, 2007 – 8:07 AM

There is an enormous online archive of SST measurements, which would be well worth someone looking at, to get a feel for what the raw data looks like.
