Summary

The Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data of the Arctic show temperature ranges in degrees C using grid cells of AVHRR Pathfinder version 5 monthly, global, 4 km data set (PFSST V50). The pathfinder rasters are available from the NOAA National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) and from the Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC), hosted by NASA JPL. These data have been QA'd in that we have selected only data values with associated quality flags of 4-7. No Data values are not included here.

Purpose

The Arctic Ecoregion temperature dataset was developed for the purpose of examining SST values and patterns recorded since 1981 at a moderate resolution. Specifically, these data are limited to the extent defined by The Nature Conservancy MEOW (Marine Ecoregions of the World) framework "Arctic" and "High Arctic" provinces. Moreover these data are offered in a format intended to facilitate their use between biogeographers and ecologists examining the effects of climate change in coastal regions.
