Dataset
To compare sea surface temperatures between1985 and 1997.
Sea surface temperature is the temperature of the top millimeter of the ocean's surface. The average sea surface temperatures over a long period of time are called a sea surface temperature "climatology." An area's climatology acts a baseline for deciding whether and how much the climate is changing
Dataset contains average measurements of sea surface temperatures. The observations are grouped in five day periods.
Data were obtained by a series of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellites.
