- Abstract
The article discusses the bias estimation for sea surface temperature and the recommendations for improving data, observational metadata and uncertainty modeling. It states that sea surface temperature (SST) and land air temperature require adjustments in accounting for changes in depth or height of measurement, instrumentation and siting. It also states that changes of SST will have a major impact on estimates of global surface temperature change.
