SEA-SURFACE TEMPERATURE ESTIMATION.

Time-series of sea-surface temperatures recorded in the North Pacific and North Atlantic over periods up to 40 years were analyzed by autocorrelation and regression techniques. It was found that record lengths of 8 to 10 years are necessary to obtain reliable long-term estimates of sea-surface tempe...

Description
Summary:Time-series of sea-surface temperatures recorded in the North Pacific and North Atlantic over periods up to 40 years were analyzed by autocorrelation and regression techniques. It was found that record lengths of 8 to 10 years are necessary to obtain reliable long-term estimates of sea-surface temperature. The analysis also showed that year-to-year differences exist in annual average temperature and that such variability is to be expected. (Author)
