The Met Office Hadley Centre's sea surface temperature data set, Hadley Centre SST data set (HadSST).4.0.1.0 is a monthly global field of SST on a 5° latitude by 5° longitude grid from 1850 to date.
The SST data are taken from release 3.0.0 of the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set, ICOADS (external web page), from 1850 to 2014 and from ICOADS release 3.0.1 from 2015 onwards. From January 2016, these are supplemented by drifting buoy observations "Generated using E.U. Copernicus Marine Service Information" from CMEMS (Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service). HadSST.4.0.1.0 is produced by taking in situ measurements of SST from ships and buoys, rejecting measurements that fail quality checks, converting the measurements to anomalies by subtracting climatological values from the measurements, and calculating a robust average of the resulting anomalies on a 5° by 5° degree monthly grid. After gridding the anomalies, bias adjustments are applied to reduce the effects of changes in SST measuring practices. The uncertainties arising from under-sampling and measurement error have been calculated for the gridded monthly data as have the uncertainties on the bias adjustments following the procedures described in the paper.
