This file has projected annual mean Sea Surface Temperature (SST) averaged over the time period 1981-2100. Data are taken from 15 CMIP5 climate models under two emission scenarios, RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5. Where possible, multiple realisations of a climate model are included, as well as the mean output from these realisations. The present day baseline annual mean SST layer (1982-2001) is also available. Two spatial resolutions are available: 1x1 degree and 0.25x0.25 degree created by a spline interpolation procedure in ArcGIS v.10.4.1. All original CMIP5 data are available at https://esgf-node.llnl.gov/projects/cmip5/. See README file for further information.
