SPECIFIC CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE OBSERVING SYSTEM: SEA SURFACE
ABSTRACT- Sea surface temperature (SST) observations have been made from in situ (ship and buoy) and satellites. SST analyses used for climate purposes must be constant in time and not influenced by the changes that have occurred in the type and number of SST observations. In particular, biases due...
