PO.DAAC is pleased to announce that we are now distributing the latest NCEP Reynolds Historical Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature data set version 3b.

This monthly analysis spans from January 1854 to the present and is computed on a 2 degree grid. It is available in ascii and netCDF formats and is based on the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) release 2.4.

Major changes include improving the tuning procedures using simulated data to improve the analysis prior to 1930 and using NCEP's own sea-ice corrections.

The data can be found at: ftp://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/sea_surface_temperature/reynolds/ersst/data_3b

Additional information can be found at: ftp://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/sea_surface_temperature/reynolds/ersst/doc/README.V3b

This product replaces version 2 which is no longer supported.
