Ensemble Median Global sea surface temperature dataset from 1988-01-01 to 2019-02-28 (NCEI Accession 0187983)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 03:21 AM | Dataset Last Updated: August 23, 2019 at 12:00 AM
Ensemble Median Global sea surface temperature (EMSST) is a daily SST dataset constructed by Nagoya University from an ensemble of 18 global SST products for the period from January 1, 1988 to February 28, 2019. The data set includes SST calculated as an ensemble median on each 0.25 degree by 0.25 degree grids over global ice-free oceans. The data set also includes an ensemble mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, number and kind of source products used.
