Abstract

Different estimates of the monthly mean sea surface temperature (SST) fields are intercompared. Fields derived from ship data alone differ substantially in high SST gradient regions and in areas of low data density. These differences exhibit seasonal and interannual variations which are spatially correlated. The large bias and variability preclude interchangeable use of different SST products derived from ships alone.
