Entry ID: NCAR_DS120.1

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA40) is a global atmospheric analysis of many conventional observations and satellite data streams for the period Sept,1957- Aug,2002. There are numerous data products that are separated into dataset series' based on resolution, vertical coordinate reference, and likely research applications. Descriptions of the ... View entire text

Quality ATTRIBUTE ACCURACY REPORT: SST values are accurate to within 0.5 degrees Celsius. For the CoastWatch Datatype, NOAA CoastWatch performs validation of the data through buoy match-ups or other in situ measurements for adjusting processing algorithms as necessary.

LOGICAL CONSISTENCY REPORT: Validation of these algorithms are performed by comparing GOES-SST retrievals against a quality ... View entire text
