Extended Reconstruction SST (ERSST)
•Uses ship and buoy SST data•Monthly 2o gridded fields from 1854 to present•Purpose: to monitor climate change

Top: AVHRR Pathfinder Bottom: AMSR-E
For AVHRR:• Absolute latitudes > 40° have
roughly only 5 days of data
• Number of days increases toward the tropics
• Drop offs due to cloud cover
For AMSR:• Absolute latitudes > 40° have
more than 20 days of data
• Drop offs due to precipitation in ITCZ and SPCZ

Magnitude of Gradient:Gulf Stream
• Daily OI using AMSR-E for January - March 2003
• Gradients have a stationary part due to topography– Thus, limited
AVHRR data are useful

Daily OI: ProductsAll products on 0.25° spatial grid
• AVHRR only– AVHRR Daily OI: September 1981 to present
• AMSR + AVHRR – AMSR + AVHRR Daily OI: June 2002 to present
• Both products use satellite & in situ data
