“…We therefore made use of satellite‐based SSTs in HadISST1 to give almost complete observational coverage for recent years and a firmer basis for the EOFs used to interpolate the earlier, in situ data. We chose to use SSTs from the advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) because of their greater coverage and longer record than SSTs from the more recent Along‐Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) [ Delderfield et al , 1986]. We used monthly SSTs for January 1982 onward from the operational U.S. National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite‐borne AVHRR instruments, provided by R. W. Reynolds and D. C. Stokes.…”

[1] We present the Met Office Hadley Centre's sea ice and sea surface temperature (SST) data set, HadISST1, and the nighttime marine air temperature (NMAT) data set, HadMAT1. HadISST1 replaces the global sea ice and sea surface temperature (GISST) data sets and is a unique combination of monthly globally complete fields of SST and sea ice concentration on a 1°latitude-longitude grid from 1871. The companion HadMAT1 runs monthly from 1856 on a 5°latitude-longitude grid and incorporates new corrections for the effect on NMAT of increasing deck (and hence measurement) heights. HadISST1 and HadMAT1 temperatures are reconstructed using a two-stage reducedspace optimal interpolation procedure, followed by superposition of quality-improved gridded observations onto the reconstructions to restore local detail. The sea ice fields are made more homogeneous by compensating satellite microwave-based sea ice concentrations for the impact of surface melt effects on retrievals in the Arctic and for algorithm deficiencies in the Antarctic and by making the historical in situ concentrations consistent with the satellite data. SSTs near sea ice are estimated using statistical relationships between SST and sea ice concentration. HadISST1 compares well with other published analyses, capturing trends in global, hemispheric, and regional SST well, containing SST fields with more uniform variance through time and better month-tomonth persistence than those in GISST. HadMAT1 is more consistent with SST and with collocated land surface air temperatures than previous NMAT data sets.

“…The Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR) is an along-track-conical scanning dual-view radiometer, which provides data in nine spectral channels (S1-S9) plus two additional channels (F1-F2) optimized for fire monitoring. The primary goal of the SLSTR is to determine global sea-surface temperatures to an accuracy of better than 0.3 K. The SLSTR instrument is based on the opto-mechanical and imaging design of the predecessors: AlongTrack Scanning Radiometers (ATSR) on ERS-1 and ERS-2 [6] and Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) on ENVISAT [7]. The key characteristics of the SLSTR are listed Tab.…”

“…This feature, coupled with cooler detectors, 12 bit data digitization, and accurate on board absolute calibration, gives the ATSR an improved performance over other satellite infrared radiometers. Further information on the ATSR can be found in the papers by Delderfield et al [1986] and Prata et al [1990].…”

[1] Collocated measurements by the microwave radiometer (MWR) and the Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) on the ERS-2 satellite are used to develop algorithms for estimating global total water vapor content (TWV) over the global oceans from ATSR data. The three ATSR infrared bands that view the Earth's surface through two different view angles are treated as ''sounding'' channels. Agreement between the MWR and ATSR estimates of nadir TWV are within 0.3 cm of precipitable water. The TWV algorithms are applied to global ATSR data sets and to two small samples of collocated ATSR and radiosonde data over the open ocean. A comparison is made between the August 1997 monthly average TWV distributions obtained from ATSR and the global NASA Water Vapor Project data set.
