Stratospheric Temperature: Satellite Datasets Used to Quantify Lower, Middle, and Upper Stratospheric Temperatures
Years of record
- to
The temperature of the stratosphere is a key climate variable for understanding variability and change of the Earth's radiation budget, particularly due to sensitivity to changes in stratospheric ozone as well as aerosols from volcanoes and wildfires. While there are…

SST data: NOAA daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature version 2.1, OISSTv2.1
Years of record
- to
NOAA’s daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (dOISST, also known as Reynolds’ SST or OISST) is a global SST analysis product. An SST analysis is a spatially gridded product created by interpolating and extrapolating data, resulting in a smoothed spatially-…
